Question99 Toyo Sienna, 120,000 miles, 4sp auto trans..
1. The Power Sliding Door does not work, I have re initialized it several times, and checked the cable tension as per 'Mitchell1 OnDemand 5' after Initialization the Door opens fine, but when I try to close the door, the door tries to open further (1/2" or so) and stops. Must I replace the ECU? or is there a way to clean a sensor?, it acts as if it does not recognize that it is open.
2. No AM Radio Reception At all.. FM works fine, Cannot Pick up any AM Stations.. Have you run in to this before?
3. When I check the oil, it smells like fuel, the service has been regular, and it is fairly fresh oil, also, I don't believe this van has had a tuneup for a long time. I just bought this van so I cannot tell you much of its history. What components would be considered for a 120,000 mile tuneup?
Thank you very much.

AnswerIf the initializtion was done correctly and the cables are adjusted the most common problem is the door control ECU, I ran into this problem about three times last year and it always turned out to be the ecu.
The radio has an internal malfunction, you can either have it repaired(take it to a radio repair shop) or it may be cheaper to just have an aftermarket unit installed.
I'm not sure how fuel is getting into the oil but if that is the case it's a serious issue, I don't think doing a tune up will help as far as that goes. Does it run normally with no misfires, hard starting etc.?
I have checked but there are no service bulletins regarding this.
I would recommend having the Toyota dealer check this out.
