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.
Intermittent problems are easier to detect with an intelligent tester when the ECM is in check mode. In check mode, the ECM uses 1 trip detection logic, which is more sensitive to malfunctions than normal mode (default), which uses 2 trip detection logic.
- 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)
How to proceed with
troubleshooting
HINT:
The intelligent tester can be used in steps 2, 3, 4, 6 and 9.

Open in ABS Motor Relay Circuit
DESCRIPTION
The ABS motor relay supplies power to the ABS pump motor. While the ABS is
activated, the ECU turns
the motor relay on and operates the ABS pump motor.
If the voltage supplied to the motor relay (+BM) is below the DTCs detection
threshold due to low voltage
from the battery ...
