Toyota Sienna Service Manual: Check for intermittent problems
1. CHECK FOR INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS
HINT: For use of the intelligent tester only: Inspect the vehicle's ECM using check mode.

- Clear the DTCs.
- Switch the ECM from normal mode to check mode using an intelligent tester.
- Perform a simulation test.
- Check and wiggle the harness(es), connector(s) and terminal(s)
