Toyota Sienna Service Manual: Coolant Thermostat (Coolant Temperature Below Thermostat Regulating Temperature)
HINT:
This DTC relates to the thermostat.
DESCRIPTION
This DTC is set when the Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) does not reach 75°C (167°F) despite sufficient engine warm-up time.
MONITOR DESCRIPTION
The ECM estimates the ECT based on the starting temperature, engine loads, and engine speeds. The ECM then compares the estimated temperature with the actual ECT. When the estimated ECT reaches 75°C (167°F), the ECM checks the actual ECT. If the actual ECT is less than 75°C (167°F), the ECM interprets this as a malfunction in the thermostat or the engine cooling system and sets the DTC.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
HINT:
Read freeze frame data using the intelligent tester. The ECM records vehicle and driving condition information as freeze frame data the moment a DTC is stored. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can be helpful in determining whether the vehicle was running or stopped, whether the engine was warmed up or not, whether the air-fuel ratio was lean or rich, as well as other data recorded at the time of a malfunction.
1 CHECK ANY OTHER DTCS OUTPUT (IN ADDITION TO DTC P0128)
(a) Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
(b) Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
(c) Turn the tester on.
(d) Select the following menu items: DIAGNOSIS / ENHANCED OBD II / DTC INFO / CURRENT CODES.
(e) Read the DTCs.
Result 
HINT: If any DTCs other than P0128 are output, troubleshoot those DTCs first.
2 CHECK COOLING SYSTEM
(a) Check for defects in the cooling system that might cause the system to be too cold, such as abnormal radiator fan operation or any modifications.
3 INSPECT THERMOSTAT
(a) Remove the thermostat (See page CO-16).
(b) Check the valve opening temperature of the thermostat (See page CO-17).
Standard: 80 to 84°C (176 to 183°F)
HINT:
In addition to the above check, confirm that the valve is completely closed when the temperature is below the standard.
(c) Reinstall the thermostat (See page CO-17).
REPLACE ECM (See page ES-498)
Insufficient Coolant Temperature for Closed Loop Fuel Control
DESCRIPTION
Refer to DTC P0115 (See page ES-133).

Oxygen Sensor Circuit
HINT:
Sensor 2 refers to the sensor mounted behind the Three-Way Catalytic
Converter (TWC) and located far
from the engine assembly.
DESCRIPTION
A three-way catalytic converter (TWC) is used ...

Disassembly
1. REMOVE PROPELLER SHAFT ASSEMBLY
(a) Put matchmarks on both the flanges.
(b) Remove the 4 nuts, bolts and washers.
2. REMOVE INTERMEDIATE SHAFT
(a) Put matchmarks on the propeller shaft subassembly
and universal joint flange.
NOTICE:
Do not use a punch for the marks.
(b) Using a ...
TS and CG Terminal Circuit
DESCRIPTION
In the sensor check mode, a malfunction of the speed sensor that cannot be
detected when the vehicle is
stopped is detected while driving.
Transition to the sensor check mode can be performed by connecting terminals TS
and CG of the DLC3
and turning the ignition switch from off ...
Diagnosis Circuit
DESCRIPTION
DTC output mode is set by connecting terminals TC and CG of the DLC3.
DTCs are displayed by blinking the SRS warning light.
HINT:
When each warning light stays blinking, a ground short in the
wiring of terminal TC of the DLC3 or an
internal ground short in each ECU is ...
