ANSWER: The code is for a cruise control actuator malfunction, check the wire connector on the actuator under the hood, make sure the cable is attached to the throttle linkage and check the brake lights

QUESTION: Thanks again for the prompt answer. One additional question. My after market repair manual doesn't have diagrams or locations for any CC components.
When you say the Actuator is "under the hood" do you mean at the front of the vehicle or under the passenger side engine access cover.
Answer
cruise control
It's actually located under the dash on the Previa, they are not cheap, about $1200 so I would spend a little money to have a technician do some specific tests to verify it is bad before replacing it, I have given you the most likely cause for the code but it could be a wiring issue as well
I am attaching a picture of the location
