I have a 2 year old 2014 toyota sienna slx.
Toyota sienna automatic doors won t open.
Wait 10 seconds then open the door with the remote again.
Problem started intermittantly but now won t open at all.
About 8 months ago our passenger side sliding door was not opening with either the automatic door triggers 3 t.
This happens when the latch motor fails which is fairly common in toyota siennas.
Often times it will make a noise while it attempts to open but then fails to do so.
Sliding door wont close till the end and would not lock properly fixed it.
Luckily replacing just the latch motor is an easy and inexpensive solution.
Hi i had a problem with my 2006 toyota sienna power sliding door.
If you pull the handle on the inside or outside it doesn t open the door it behaves just like it is locked.
Open the door with the remote a third time.
The automatic sliding passenger door on my 2005 toyota sienna won t open.
When you press a button to automatically open the sliding door it makes noise attempting to open the door but fails.
Once the third cycle completes the power door battery is reset.
Symptom of sliding door latch problem.
Sometimes the side door will struggle to open when you press the button to automatically open it.
The driver side sliding door will not return when open but when the door is moved manually foward and backward eventually the motor will close the door.
Press the open button on the remote key fob to open the sliding doors.
When the passenger side sliding door is forced open it can then be closed using the front dash switch the passenger door switch or the fob.
If you push the open button inside the car or on the fob you can hear the motor try to open but the door doesn t budge and the motor stops after a second.
But if you pull the handle and hold it for a few seconds the door opens.
