Wiggle the e brake handle or pedal, and see if the cables are perhaps out of adjustment,but I'm betting this is a red dash lamp, which normally does double duty as an e brake warning, and also a low brake fluid warning. If your brake fluid is indeed low, add to the full line only. Do not overfill as there needs to be room for heat expansion. Low fluid does not always indicate a leak as the fluid is displaced as your disc brake pads wear, but it would be a good idea to have the brake system inspected soon, as if pads are worn, you can save money by replacing the pads b4 they damage the rotors. Obviously, a leak should be looked for also, as that can cause brake failure, however a leak is usually (but not always) quickly noticed in the brake performance. Stay away from the chain outfits. A reputable (ask friends and relaltives) independant service garage, is almost always your best bet, and if you have them do your routine maintainence, they usually bring things like this to your attention.
Hello
The
Engine and Automatic Transmission (not applicable to manual
transmissions) in this vehicles drive train are fully electronically
controlled by a computer called the PCM and TCM (Power Train Control
Module, Transmission Control Module). When a problem like this or
other drive-ability related problems occurs the computer stores a
record of the problem (there are of course some exceptions to this,
like the fuel pump, engine coolant temperature sensor and MAF sensor
for instance) in the form of a fault code in its memory, to read
these fault codes you must have the systems memory scanned with a
special tool. Once the fault code(s) are read you then must perform
the appropriate diagnostic testing to find and resolve the problem(s)
DO NOT REPLACE ANY PARTS UNTIL A TRAINED TECHNICAIN HAS DIAGNOSED
THE PROBLEM TO AVOID SPENDING YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY ON PARTS THAT
MAY NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM. Also always check fuel pressure for
correct spec for your make and engine type.
To start, the noun "''rear latch switch'' is incorrect. It's actually called "Slide Door Lock". It's located on page BO-20 of the Toyota Repair Manual for the 2001 Sienna. There are two door locks on one sliding door. One in the front and one in the rear. Obviously, you want the one in the rear. The location for the "Slide Door Lock" (which also contains an electric switch) is in the rear of the sliding door located mid way up door. You can see (sliding door opened from the back) it without dissembling the door. And, the lock is made up of plastic (dirty white in color).
