Toyota Sienna Warnings

Toyota Sienna Service reminder indicators and warning buzzers
(a) Toyota Sienna Brake System Warning Light' This light has the following functions:
Parking brake reminder If this light is on, make sure the parking
brake is fully released. The light should go off. Toyota Sienna Low brake fluid level warning If this light comes on and stays on while you are driving, slow down and pull off the road. Then stop the my Toyota Sienna carefully. Remember that stopping distance and pedal effort may be increased. There maybe a problem somewhere in the Toyota Sienna brake system. Check the fluid level of the seethrough reservoir. To make sure the Toyota Siennas parking brake has not
caused the warning light to come on, check to see that the parking brake is fully released. If the brake fluid level is low... At a safe place, test your Toyota Sienna brakes by starting and stopping. If you judge that the brakes still work adequately, drive cautiously to your nearest dealer or shop for repairs. If the brakes are not working, have the my Toyota Sienna towed in for repairs. If the brake fluid level is correct... Have the warning system checked by yourToyota Sienna dealer.


(b) Toyota Sienna Driver’s Seat Belt Reminder Light and Buzzer
This light and buzzer remind you to buckle up the driver’s seat belt. Once the ignition key is turned to “ON” or “START”, the reminder light flashes and
buzzer sounds if the driver’s seat belt is not pulled out. Unless the driver starts to pull the shoulder belt out of the retractor, the Toyota Sienna light keeps flashing and the buzzer stops after about 4 to 8 seconds.

(c) Toyota Sienna Front Passenger’s Seat Belt Reminder
Light This light reminds you to buckle up the front passenger’s seat belt.
Once the ignition key is turned to “ON” or “START”, the reminder light flashes if a
passenger sits in the front passenger seat and does not pull out the seat belt. Unless the front passenger starts to pull the Toyota Sienna shoulder belt out of the retractor, the light stays flashing. If luggage load is placed on the front passenger seat, depending on its weight and how it is placed on the seat, built- in sensors in the seat cushion may detect the pressure, causing the reminder light to come on.

(d) Toyota Sienna Discharge Warning Light This light warns that the Toyota Sienna battery is being discharged. If it comes on while you are driving, there is a problem somewhere in the charging system. The engine ignition will continue to operate, however, until the battery is discharged. Turn off the air conditioning, blower, radio, etc., and drive directly to the nearest Toyota Sienna dealer or repair shop.


(e) Toyota Sienna Malfunction Indicator Lamp
This lamp comes on in the following cases.
a. The Toyota Sienna fuel tank is completely empty.
b. The Toyota Sienna fuel tank cap is not tightened securely.
c. There is a problem somewhere in your
Toyota Sienna engine or Toyota Sienna automatic transmission electrical system. If it comes on while you are driving in case c, have your my Toyota Sienna checked/repaired by your Toyota Sienna dealer as soon as possible.


(f) Toyota Sienna Low Fuel Level Warning Light
This light comes on when the Toyota Sienna fuel level in the tank becomes nearly empty. Fill up
the tank as soon as possible. On inclines or curves, due to the movement of fuel in the tank, the low fuel level warning light may come on earlier than usual.


(g) Toyota Sienna Low Oil Pressure Warning Light
This light warns that the Toyota Sienna engine oil pressure is too low. If it flickers or stays on while you are driving, pull off the road to a safe place and stop the engine immediately. Call a Toyota Sienna dealer or qualified repair shop for assistance.
The light may occasionally flicker when the engine is idling or it may come on briefly after a hard stop. There is no cause for concern if it then goes out when
the engine is accelerated slightly. The light may come on when the Toyota Sienna oil level is extremely low. It is not designed to indicate low oil level, and the oil level must be checked using the level dipstick.

(h) Toyota Sienna “ABS” Warning Light
This light warns that there is a problem somewhere in your anti- lock brake system. If the light comes on while you are driving, have your my Toyota Sienna checked by your Toyota Sienna dealer as soon as possible. The light will come on when the ignition key is turned to the “ON” position. After a few seconds, the light will go off. When the Toyota Sienna ABS warning light is on (and the brake system warning light is off), the brake system operates conventionally but anti- lock brake system is not assisting
brake performance so that the Toyota Sienna wheels can lock- up during sudden braking or braking
on slippery road surfaces.


(i) Toyota Sienna Open Door Warning Light
This light remains on until all the doors and back door are completely closed.
When the Toyota Sienna ignition switch is “OFF” and this light stays lighting on, the light will turn off automatically after 30 minutes with the light flashing five times. See “Personal lights” and “Interior light” for details in Sanouther post.

(j) Toyota Sienna Open Power Sliding Door Warning Light and Buzzer
This light comes on if the power sliding door is not completely closed with the
ignition key in the “ON” position. If you forcibly close the power sliding door
by hand when the ignition key is in the “ON” position, the open power sliding door
warning light may stay on. In this case, try opening and closing the Toyota Sienna power sliding
door again by hand slowly, or use one of the “PWR DOOR” switches or wireless
remote control transmitter. If you shift out of “P” when the power
sliding door is opened or in the process of closing with the power sliding door system on, a buzzer will sound and the open Toyota Sienna power sliding door warning light will flash. This is a warning that the sliding door is not completely closed.


(k) Toyota Sienna SRS Warning Light
This light will come on when the ignition key is turned to the “ACC” or
“ON” position. After about 6 seconds, the light will go off. This means the
system of the airbag and front seat belt pretensioners are operating properly.
The Toyota Sienna warning light system monitors the airbag sensor assembly, front airbag sensors,
seat belt pretensioner assemblies, inflators, warning light, interconnecting wiring
and power sources. If either of the following conditions occurs,
this indicates a malfunction somewhere in the parts monitored by the warning light
system. Contact your Toyota Sienna dealer as soon as possible to service the my Toyota Sienna. The light does not come on when the ignition key is turned to the “ACC” or “ON” position or remains on. The light comes on or flashes while driving.
