The back door on the drivers side just will shut a little and keeps popping open unable to drive it because the door will fly open
The door catch is down or has lost a spring inside the hook
No simple fix but too replace door latch inside
In order to drive car with door that way no back seat passengers till fixed but use tie down ratchet straps from door to door inside handles
This will keep door shut then can drive vehicle normal till door catch is fixed its simple hour job to replace just buy parts have mechanic shop install
SOURCE: all doors open and close with remote except the passenger side ?
Sounds like the most likely cause is the electronic lock actuator is bad. will have to take door panel appart to check.

I had the same problem. I found solution on internet at following link:

I purchased the back door latch from Toyota dealer for $68 + taxes and replaced according to the instruction given at the above link. It takes less than 30 minutes to replace it. Thanks to the nice people for sharing the knowledge. The dealer quoted over $300 for the same.

This may or may not work depending on exactly what is wrong with the door, I cant tell what is wrong without looking at it directly however:
You can try starting with all doors closed and unlocked, keys in hand disconnecting the battery and letting the vehicle sit for 2 min or so, then reconnect the battery. Put the key into the ignition and turn it to the on position but do not start the van. Next press the button to disable the power sliding door for the drivers side, then manually open the door fully, wait 5 seconds, then close it manually fully. Press button the button again to re-enable the power sliding door, then try to use it with the automatic feature either by pulling the handle or using your remote, this may or may not work depending on if the door has somehow become de-initialized (it should work now) however if something is broken inside the door closing mechanism or door closed/open sensors, the door will continue to malfunction.
SOURCE: driver side door came open while driving. The
hold handle for door in open position w/ straight screw driver pop latch rod back out, use wd40 on both locks, hope i helped!!!
Testimonial: "Thank you so much for helping me get the latch undone. Now to fix the other side. I have a feeling it will require a new latch."
