2011 toyota sienna sliding door won t open.

Turns out a very small piece broke off that was prev. Iirc all sienna s from 2011 2016 were under a sliding door recall. The 2011 toyota sienna has 6 problems reported for sliding doors malfunctioning. May not work for all 2011 toyota sienna s but it seems to work with the le with no factory alarm.

Found instructions for reseting the power door battery on sienna it requires that you disconnect the battery wait 5 minutes and reconnect press open button on the remote key fob to open the door close the door wait 10 seconds then open the door with the remote again close the door wait 10 seconds open with the remote a third time. This happens when the power sliding door isn t able to latch on properly due to something blocking it. The electric motor s circuit will become overloaded and this will trip the fuse and prevent the door from being closed entirely. When your sienna side door won t close one possibility is a circuit overload.

If your van is pending then take it to the dealer and they will fix it as the recall involves replacing sliding door cables amongst other things. Easy fix to a faulty back door sensor. Using your vin check here nhtsa recall status. Soo i opened it.
