2006 Toyota Sienna electrical problems

Filed Mar 27, 2023 · Acceleration, Brakes · VA

The vehicle stability control system randomly engages and activates the brakes without cause. This can happen on a gentle curve going under the speed limit. It is very scary and I am afraid it is going to cause an accident. Internet research shows many owners with this issue and no information on the cause or a fix

While driving vehicle on dry, non slippery roads with slight to moderate curves, vehicle illuminates Traction Loss light, sounds alarm buzzer, and at times applies brakes and dethrottles engine, even when no loss of traction has occurred. This happens while driving on straight roads with slight unevenness. Had to disconnect wheel speed sensor harness to disable ABS/VSC system. When this happens, the vehicle automatically applies brakes to certain wheels and dethrottles the engine, this can pull the vehicle to one side sharply and can cause an accident.

When driving the vehicle regardless of speed or driving condition the traction control system randomly activates (it is always when going around a curve, but road conditions are dry, speed could be 70 or could be 20, there is no loss of control by me as a driver). This causes the car to abruptly brake. The computer system shows no issues when the dealer looks at it. When I deactivate the traction control system using the button the van will still beep loudly indicating a loss of traction control. It will also kick off the cruise control, but does not activate the automatic braking feature. This has been happening daily for 2 months with multiple visits to repair shops.

Abs, vsc, trac off, brake lights on continuously, plus tire pressure light blinking. This is not normal and also annoying. Toyota doesn't seem to know what the problem is, and is only willing to allow me to spend thousands of dollars to "try" to fix this. Toyota needs to take responsibility! Vehicle drives normally. Lights have been on for months. I was driving down the road, with a car load of children, late at night, coming home from a football game when the lights came on. We were driving across a long bridge, on a 6-lane roadway, going about 50 miles an hour. Very scary! I pulled over, but soon realized the care was drivable. I've spent so much money, trying to figure out what is going on. I am seeing online that this is not exclusive to toyotas. Many vehicles exhibit this issue. Instead of helping us fix it, we are suppose to pay mechanics (dealers or individuals), then the problem comes back. Seems no one really knows why this is happening. I've been an exclusive toyota owner for years. It disappoints me that toyota won't help.
