Toyota Sienna Service Manual: Transmission Range Sensor Circuit Malfunction (PRNDL Input)
DESCRIPTION
The park/neutral position switch detects the shift lever position and sends signals to the ECM.
MONITOR DESCRIPTION
These DTCs indicate a problem with the park/neutral position switch and the wire harness in the park/ neutral position switch circuit.
The park/neutral position switch detects the shift lever position and sends a signal to the ECM.
For security, the park/neutral position switch detects the shift lever position so that engine can be started only when the shift lever is in the P or N position The park/neutral position switch sends a signal to the ECM according to the shift position (P, R, N or D).
The ECM determines that there is a problem with the switch or related parts if in receives more than 1 position signal simultaneously. The ECM will turn on the MIL and store the DTC.

TYPICAL MALFUNCTION THRESHOLDS
1. One of the following conditions are met: Condition (A), (B), (C) and (D)
COMPONENT OPERATING RANGE
WIRING DIAGRAM
1 INSPECT PARK/NEUTRAL POSITION SWITCH ASSEMBLY
(a) Disconnect the park/neutral position switch connector.
(b) Measure resistance according to the value(s) in the table below when the shift lever is moved to each position.
Standard resistance
2 INSPECT SHIFT LOCK CONTROL UNIT ASSEMBLY
(a) Connect the park/neutral position switch connector.
(b) Disconnect the transmission control switch connector of shift lock control unit assembly.
(c) Measure resistance according to the value(s) in the table below when the shift lever is moved to each position.
Standard resistance
3 CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (PARK/NEUTRAL POSITION SWITCH - ECM)
(a) Connect the transmission control switch connector of shift lock control unit assembly.
(b) Turn the ignition switch to the ON position, and measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below when the shift lever is moved to each position.
Standard voltage
HINT: *: The voltage will drop slightly due to lighting up of the back up light.

DESCRIPTION
The ATF (Automatic Transmission Fluid) temperature sensor converts the fluid
temperature into a
resistance value which is input into the ECM.
The ECM applies a voltage to the te ...

Air Inlet Damper Position Sensor Circuit
DESCRIPTION
This sensor detects the position of the air inlet control servo motor and
sends the appropriate signals to
the A/C amplifier. The position sensor is built in the air inlet control servo
motor.
The position sensor's resistance changes as the air inlet control servo motor

Reassembly
1. INSTALL FRONT DISC
(a) Aligning the matchmarks, install the front disc.
HINT:
Select the installation position where the disc has
the minimum runout.
2. INSPECT DISC RUNOUT
(a) Temporarily fasten the disc with the hub nuts.
Torque: 103 N*m (1,050 kgf*cm, 76 ft.*lbf)
(b) Using a ...
Removal
1. REMOVE REAR DOOR WINDOW FRAME MOULDING
Remove the screw.
Using a heat light, heat the rear door window frame
moulding between 40 to 60 C (104 to 140 F).
NOTICE:
Do not heat the rear door window frame
moulding excessively.
Slide the rear door window frame moulding upward
to r ...
