What to do if your Toyota won’t start?
Battery – If the connections on your battery become corroded, there is no longer a connection to the rest of the car. This can keep you from starting. Clean the posts and try to start the car. Additionally, the battery may be dead. Take a battery tester and test the cranking amps to see if they are weak.
What should the voltage be on a Toyota Sienna?
It should be a little above 12 V. Then turn the engine on and running, check the voltage again. It should be a little over 13 V, but under 14 V. If you’re at the same voltage or lower with the engine running, then your alternator is bad.
Are there any recalls on the Toyota Sienna?
AFAIK (this is based on my memory of discussions at the old site), the JBL-problem/recall was for 2005 Siennas “only”…..and only a limited production range were affected. For 2004 & reportedly some 2005s, the “battery-saver” feature does not work how most reasonable people would think it should work.
Can you turn off the interior lights in a Toyota Sienna?
It ONLY works under a VERY NARROW set of circumstances, and even then it ONLY works for the 2 overhead map lights in the FRONT ROW ONLY. In reality, it is NOT something most owners can rely upon as a “safety net” to help them remember to turn off the interior lights.
