2005 Toyota Sienna - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

could be bad brake switch, bad shift interlock solonoid. is there a small square cap near the shifter? if so pry it off and stick a pencil in it to see if that works

Hello Ravendra, Engine timing, RPM and fuel trim and many other factors are generally controlled by the ECM (engine control module) which could also be referred to as a PCM (power-train control module) so manually adjusting or setting ignition timing is not possible on modern day vehicles.

After removing the pinch bolt and nut it is usually necessary to tap in a small chisel or large screwdriver to open up the slot sufficient for removal. Sometimes burrs hold components together and sometimes there is a corrosion bond so a squirt of penetrating oil is a good idea too.

The transmission is not shifting properly

Most likely the problem is the lower steering knuckle. This is the one outside of the firewall, under the vehicle and it hooks up to the power steering assist cylinder. In my opinion the knuckle has to work at an unreasonably steep angle and this compounds the problem. The knuckle (especially in salt areas starts to corrode and becomes hard to turn. Toyota says the water gets into the bearing and they beings to rust the bearing and turning the whell starts to feel stiff. I have this problem and I sprayed liberal amounts of a rust inhibitor that a local place uses to rust proof cars (They sell small spray bottles of it for $5). They are called OIL TECH in Barrie, Ontario and make up their own formula. The formula has addatives that breaks the surface tension on the oil treatment and gets it into the tiny cracks and crevices on your vehicle. I sprayed this all over the knuckle, turned it back and forth a couple of times and continued spraying. I let it sit for an hour and went for a test drive -- problem solved. You could actually see the rust on the exposed parts of the knuckle. I probably will have to do this once every month of two but what the heck. It is a lot cheaper than having to replace the steering shaft ($1000+???) Probably other types of rust proofing or lubricating oils will work. I long for the old days of grease fittings and you never had to replace ball joints and tie rod ends etc.

check the switch in the glove compartment

yes you can the clutch should unbolt

Sorry, there isn't a clock fuse. It is very low voltage and amperage. It is powered by another computer. The clock just died.

3 bolts under the hood. one in the door jamb. four under the car behind the wheel well liner. One at the very front of the side skirt underneath. Read more: http://www.xcardiag.com/

Go to AutoZone, Advanced Auto Parts, or NAPA to use their Diagnostic Code Reader and get codes and they will tell you problem and parts needed to repaird.

What kind of codes?

Senor issues. Car thinks it is slipping. Pull the fuse for the TCS and see if that clears code and make your car derivable. If not, then try disconnecting the battery for 10-20 minutes. Otherwise, take it the dealer.

can menual selection.you are auto selection & it is best.

some times on these the brain tells there was a fault now you have changed the bulb the brain still thinks the fault is still there you can disconect the battery for 10 mins then put the battery back on and hopfully the brain should have reset hope this helps

Have 2005 Sienna and its Driver side door was not openning. Cheap dealer fixed it himself in front of me. After opening the doors plastic assembly while sitting inside with a screw driver. Then he bent the clip towards left where the metal wire is connected. If you guys want to see what he did i would record a video and upload for you guys. Let me know at [email protected]

Question edited to add maker. Question moved to model category from Building Lumber. These automated features are all computer controlled by the BCM. It the door doesn't close within a certain time, or maybe it has a sensor, that can sense the jrking? Certainly there are sensors that know the door should be closed. If you can get behind the panelling, you could spray with a dry silicone lubricant like Jigaloo. You are not alone with this issue and it may be the Recall problem. There is a recall/TSB for issues relating to the auto back door on these, and it sounds like your issue may be related to the reason for the recall/TSB. Your local dealer should be able to tell you with your VIN whether this has been performed on yours. When we bought our 2006 last year from a dealer, it had not been done and I had to ask them to do it. ·#3·Mar 12, 2012 There is a recall for the back door stays (gas struts). When they deteriorate they can no longer hold the back door up, the door sags and activates the power closing.
