Service bulletins for the 2011 Toyota Sienna

A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it. The summary is NHTSA's. The document is the manufacturer's: read it at NHTSA. A bulletin is not a recall, and listing a model year does not mean every vehicle of it is concerned.

T-TT-0288-142018-04-23. Service bulletin. ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING. Prior to installing remanufactured U660 and U760 transaxles, it is necessary to remove the lower oil cooler tube union from the original transaxle case and install it into the reman unit. A NEW O-ring and printed installation instructions are supplied in separate bag with the reman unit. An instruction tag is also affixed to the unit.
T-TT-0223-132018-04-23. Service bulletin. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. The vehicle will not start or ready0on and the steering wheel lock is engaged so that the steering wheel may only be turned very little from side-to-side. If the operator attempts to ready-on or start the vehicle while there is tension on the steering lock actuator, it will not be able to fully disengage when the "ENGINE START STOP" or "POWER" switch is depressed. This condition will cause the "ENGINE START STOP" or "POWER" switch's LED to flash green and the vehicle will fail to ready-on or start.
T-SB-0192-11 Rev2018-04-23. Service bulletin. SEATS. Some 2011 ? 2014 model year Sienna vehicles with the factory mobility seat option may exhibit a condition where the seat slide function becomes inoperative due to plastic spacer interference in the lift mechanism. The seat lift mechanism has been improved to address this condition.
T-SB-0229-12_Rev2018-04-23. Service bulletin. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. TSB: REVISION NOTICE November 22, 2017 Rev1: ? Applicability has been updated to include 2014 ? 2018 model year vehicles. Any previous printed versions of this bulletin should be discarded. In the event that a Toyota vehicle becomes submerged in water, many components may be physically damaged. Electrical and electronic components, including wiring harnesses, are particularly susceptible to corrosion and subsequent malfunction. Although any flooding can be damaging, salt water flooding elevates the potential for abnormal conditions and may increase risks due to its highly corrosive and conductive nature. Salt residue also continues to corrode and remain conductive even after a vehicle dries. This bulletin is intended to assist with safe handling and inspection of flood damaged vehicles and to provide basic guidance on likely needed repairs.
T-SB-0012-13 Rev2018-04-02. Service bulletin. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:SOFTWARE. TSB: OBSOLETE NOTICE: September 14, 2016: This bulletin is now obsolete. Please see T-SB-0134-16.

Applicability has been updated to include 2016 ? 2017 model year Toyota vehicles. ? Parts Information section has been updated. Some 2004 ? 2017 model year Toyota vehicles may exhibit odors naturally occurring from the HVAC system and/or related environmental factors. Although there is no way to eliminate these odors, follow the General Procedure in this bulletin to minimize the odors experienced.
T-TT-0293-142018-04-02. Service bulletin. AIR BAGS; ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:SOFTWARE. Tech Tip: Safety Connect is a vehicle option which requires a subscription fee for the system to be active. The first year of service is provided in the vehicle purchase price. Once the subscription has lapsed the DCM will be in an inactive state. In some instances, a DCM may need to be replaced even though the customer is not using the service.
T-TT-0010-10 Rev2018-04-02. Service bulletin. BACK OVER PREVENTION; ENGINE. Tech Tip: Low battery voltage can contribute to a MIL "ON" condition for P0335 (Crankshaft Position Sensor Circuit) and/or P0340 (Camshaft Position Sensor Circuit) due to inconsistent rotational speed of the engine's crankshaft.
E0N_LSC_Dealer L2018-04-02. Service bulletin. FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: SENSING SYSTEM: RADAR. Dealer Letter: The Pre-Collision System (PCS) uses a radar sensor to determine the possibility of a frontal collision. FCC regulations require the radar sensor to be temporarily inactive while the vehicle is stopped. Due to a program error in the Driving Support ECU, if the radar sensor is inactive for 10 seconds or more, the PCS may not reactivate on certain 2011-2014 Model Year Sienna vehicles equipped with PCS.
E0N_LSC_Region L2018-04-02. Service bulletin. FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: SENSING SYSTEM: RADAR. Region Letter: The Pre-Collision System (PCS) uses a radar sensor to determine the possibility of a frontal collision. FCC regulations require the radar sensor to be temporarily inactive while the vehicle is stopped. Due to a program error in the Driving Support ECU, if the radar sensor is inactive for 10 seconds or more, the PCS may not reactivate Pre-Collision Braking on certain 2011-2014 Model Year Sienna vehicles equipped with PCS.
T-SB-0012-13 Rev2018-04-02. Service bulletin. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:SOFTWARE. TSB: Flash reprogramming allows the ECU software to be updated without replacing the ECU. Flash calibration updates for specific vehicle models/ECUs are released as field-fix procedures described in individual Service Bulletins. This bulletin details the Techstream ECU flash reprogramming process and outlines use of the Technical Information System (TIS) and the Calibration Update Wizard (CUW). Flash calibration updates can only be applied to the vehicle/ECU combination for which they are intended. ECUs have internal security that will not allow them to be programmed with another ECU?s information.
ZE2_WEP_Dealer L2018-04-02. Service bulletin. ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING. Dealer Letter: In our continuing efforts to ensure the best in customer satisfaction, Toyota is announcing a Warranty Enhancement Program to extend the warranty coverage for repairs related a leaking or seeping Engine Oil Cooler Pipe.

T-TT-0246-13 Rev2018-04-02. Service bulletin. VISIBILITY; ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. Tech Tip: Tips for writing a DPR (Dealer Product Report) on manufacturing issues for windows and windshields.
T-TT-0262-13 Rev2018-04-02. Service bulletin. ENGINE. Tech Tip: Starting with the 2010 Model Year, Toyota began a gradual transition to the use of synthetic 0w20 viscosity engine oil. There are multiple benefits of this oil including: Reduced friction and wear on engine surfaces, Improved fuel economy, Reduction in waste oil stream (in vehicles approved for 10,000 mile oil change intervals), Reduced maintenance cost (in vehicles approved for 10,000 mile oil change intervals). Due to the improved performance and durability of 0w20 synthetic oil, Toyota has extended the oil change intervals to 10,000 mile for most vehicles that require this oil. With this change, the following should be noted: The 2TR-FE (4Runner/Tacoma) and the 3UR-FBE (Flex Fuel Tundra/Sequoia) are the exceptions to this new change interval program; these engines have not been approved for the 10,000 mile interval at this time. A 5,000 mile oil change interval is still required for these vehicles. Also, the Flex Fuel 3UR-FBE requires a 2,500 mile interval when operated on E85 50% of the time or more. Only Toyota vehicles in which 0w20 oil is mandatory (except for the 2TR-FE & 3UR-FBE Engines) have been approved for extended oil change intervals. Vehicles in which 0w-20 is an option to 5w20 (or 5w30) will continue to require 5,000 mile change intervals, even if 0w20 oil is used. In case of vehicles with 10,000 mile oil change intervals, the 5,000 mile service interval has not been eliminated. The traditional 5,000 mile maintenance procedures (such as tire rotation) will continue to be required, and the fluid levels (including engine oil) will need to be checked and adjusted at this time. If the vehicle operation meets the standard criteria for "Special Operating Conditions" such as: driving off-road, on dirt roads, towing a trailer, making repeated short trips under 32 degrees F, or extensive idling, the engine oil must be replaced at 5,000 mile intervals, regardless of oil used.
T-SB-0043-14 Rev2018-04-02. Service bulletin. EQUIPMENT:ELECTRICAL:ANTI-THEFT DEVICES. TSB: The Immobilizer and Smart Key Reset is a feature that allows the registration of new keys when all master keys are lost. Once the system is reset, all previously registered keys will be erased.

TSB: Some 2011 ? 2014 model year Sienna vehicles may exhibit a vibration/pulsation from the front brakes that can be felt in the brake pedal while lightly applying the brake pedal. New front brake pads and a new field fix repair procedure have been developed to improve this condition.
