  1. Problems, Maintenance, and Repair (Gen 1)
    I have a 2001 Sienna XLE. The dealer said that the dog bone mount is torn. The part is 12363-0A040 (Engine Moving Control Rod). Is this a difficult part to replace yourself? Haynes says that the engine should be raised slightly to take pressure off the bolts. Anyone have any experience and/or...

    I may have to replace the lower control arms on my 2004 Sienna FWD LE (just turned 149,000 miles), because the bushings are getting a little cracked-looking. Anybody know if it's possible to replace just the bushings themselves? Or must the entire control arms be replaced? What brand of bushing...

    I'm looking to buy a used second generation Sienna and found one for sale out of state. It's a 2005 XLE Limited AWD. I messaged the seller and asked if the van had Stability Control and he replied that he didn't know. My understanding is that Stability Control was an option that year, and not...

    So I foresee us losing our OEM remote control. The dealer quoted me $250 for a new one. Just nuts!? There has to be aftermarket remotes that would work with the stock Entune system. Anyone have experience in replacing their remote or buying extra ones?

    I have a 2004 Toyota sienna with 98,000 miles. The check engine light recently came on and I took it to a mechanic who ran and did a diagnostic test. It turns out its the evap vent control valve/canister that is stuck. I'm not a mechanic (nor mechanically inclined), but what I understand from...

    Just bought a 2011 XLE off lease this last Saturday. On the way home I tried to engage the cruise control and it would not engage.

    Greetings! While traveling on vacation, our 2010 XLE threw an E3 code on our laser cruise control. After returning home, reviewing this website, and searching the internet, I cleaned and inspected the sensor unit in the bumper. There seems to be no damage to the lens, bumper, or surroundings...

    I own the 2012 LTD with all options installed, incl. DRCC. I can first time engage my speed control at a speed of 70mph, but if I should go down to a lower setting (example 45 mph) and then speed up again and try to re-engage the speed control at 70 mph, it just won't take it. It would cost...

    The bulb illuminating the temperature control knob on my 2002 Sienna CE burned out. I found the following video that explains how to replace that bulb and it shows PN 90981-11014 as the replacement bulb. For anyone changing these bulbs on a 2002 Sienna, the above video mostly useful...

    The lower ball joints are shot on our 2004 Sienna LE (131k miles). I am an experienced mechanic that has done all sorts of automotive work and I have access to most typical tools. I did the timing belt and water pump at 120k. That was PITA, but I saved a ton of money, so it was worth it! :)...

    If they put a button on the dash to turn this stuff off please make it actually turn it off. It turns itself back on above 50kph or in the case of winter it will turn itself back on randomly while you are trying to get the vehicle out of the snow or any dangerous situation. Does anybody know if...

    The "Mode", "A/C", "Off", and possibly other buttons on the climate control have stopped working. The temperature input buttons work, as do the "Sync" and "Rear" buttons.

    I am trying to remove the rear climate control (XLE) to replace a few dead bulbs. I cannot figure out how this thing comes out! The service manual says to "release four claws" with a screwdriver, but it is unclear as to what needs to be released. The controls are inside a plastic bezel. Does...
