#390 of 399 Re: Any recommendations after buying a new Sienna? [nybuyer] by redpearl Aug 12, 2009 (5:31 pm)
Replying to: nybuyer (Jul 21, 2008 9:51 pm) I added the WeatherTech hood stone shield and the side window deflectors immediately after purchasing my Sienna on May 01, 2009. Previously installed the same for my '05 Highlander.   The all-weather mats followed right after I realized that the carpet mats in the CF package were a lighter grey than my carpet and were backed with an open cell foam. After mats got wet the foam started to disintegrate and adhered to the carpet. Mats on '05 Highlander and previous vehicles all had a solid rubber/vinyl backing. I use an old sheet instead of the cargo liner and have just ordered an Intera tarp from Costco.com which will protect the seat backs and sides if a lot of dirty gear has to be carried. Tarp seems easy to fold and store.

#392 of 399 2002 Sienna P0440, P0441, P0442, P0446 by pjksr Oct 05, 2009 (4:31 am)
I had these 4 codes show up on my 2002 Sienna, 145,000 miles, coincidentally, about a week after a timing belt change. I verified the hose and electrical connections in the engine compartment, and under the vehicle, and they were all fine, then proceeded to diagnose the VSV valves on the EVAP system. All the valves were freely clicking, and letting or stopping airflow, as required. I didn't find any vacuum leaks in the system, or malfunction of the canister. So, what next, I wondered? The fall-back in the service manual is to replace the charcoal canister, so I did. It worked! My readiness monitors are all completed, and there aren't any codes pending or set (whereas previously, codes set on the first drive pattern cycle). My van now makes a very robust swoosh when I open the gas cap.   If you're reading this, you probably have these codes. Search the internet, and you'll find many similar problems on Toyotas from this era, fixed the same way. If you can't find a stuck valve, or holed hose, or failed gas cap, the canister is a likely culprit. My canister cost $229 on eBay, thru a Toyota dealer in Vandalia, Ohio...   Good luck, Pete
#393 of 399 LH Turn signal and Flasher out by chakalu Oct 20, 2009 (1:18 pm)
On my 04 Sienna the LH turn signal and left side emerg. flashers do not work. The right side works fine. The dashboard L turn indicator does not light. Both front and rear blubs appear to be good. Dealer wants to troubleshoot either turn signal switch problem or electrical problem. This usually means big $$$. Any thoughts or ideas?

Replying to: Malta1 (Oct 20, 2009 2:29 pm) There is a single fuse for the entire turn signal and emergency flasher circuit. The right side works, the left side doesn't. Thanks for your reply

Replying to: islandvan (Oct 20, 2009 4:11 pm) No big deal to remove it if your kids are not that tall. You want the top of the seat to reach their ear level. When they outgrow it, put it back. Replies to this message: islandvan (Oct 23, 2009 3:45 pm)

Replying to: ateixeira (Oct 23, 2009 9:20 am) thanks ateiexeria   sadly 2 of my kids are taller and i do have some adults in the car as well.... just have to live with it i guess.
#399 of 399 2010 battery drain? by islandvan Oct 29, 2009 (11:48 am)
i have seen a few posts re mid 2000 siennas and the battery draining if you leave the rear hatch open because "the computer is talking to the open hatch"....has anyone had this happen with later years?   i park my 2010 le in a garage and usually leave the power doors and the back hatch open...so far, so good but i do not want to do it if it will drain the battery.   thanks for any feed back.
