What are the symptoms of a damaged Toyota drivetrain system?

Your Toyota Sienna drivetrain might be damaged if you notice strange noises from the rear of your vehicle, see fluid leaking, or have issues turning.

How often should I come in for Toyota Sienna differential service?

Double check your owner’s manual and talk with a technician. Differential service frequency varies from car to car. At a minimum, we recommend getting your differential inspected and the differential fluid changed as a part of your regular vehicle maintenance routine since your vehicle cannot function without a differential.

What triggers the malfunction indicator light (MIL) in a Sienna?

Engine problems, transmission problems, faulty sensors, electrical issues, misfire issues, and connector problems could all cause your Sienna’s malfunction warning light, or better known as the check engine light, to illuminate.

Can you clear the Sienna check engine light on your own?

While resetting a malfunction warning light at home is technically possible, doing so is not advisable. The check engine light is typically a sign of a problem in one of your Sienna's systems, and simply resetting the light will not address the underlying issue. Instead, you should bring your vehicle to a reliable auto shop to have the underlying problem identified and fixed to help ensure the safety and reliability of your Sienna.

How serious is a drivetrain malfunction in my Sienna?

Don't ignore a drivetrain malfunction in your Sienna. As soon as you notice a problem, have it checked by a professional mechanic to diagnose the issue and carry out any necessary repairs. Driving with a faulty drivetrain is risky and may further damage your Sienna.

Does my Sienna transmission belong to the drivetrain system?

Yes, the drivetrain system in your Sienna includes the transmission. Other components in the drivetrain are the driveshaft, axles, and differential. Together, these components deliver power from the engine to the wheels to push your Sienna forward.

All About 2021 Toyota Sienna Drivetrain Service

Your Sienna drivetrain transfers power from your engine to the wheels. It spans the full length of your Toyota, from back to front. It’s one of your Sienna’s most complex systems and includes everything after the engine transmission: axles, wheels, driveshafts, differentials, and joints. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2021 Toyota Sienna, you help maintain your vehicle's power. Follow Toyota's recommendations for lubricating bearings/gears and checking/changing differential fluids to minimize repairs over time.

When to Get Toyota Sienna Drivetrain Repairs

Drivetrains for front, rear, and all-wheel-drive and 4WD vehicles are quite different, so you don't want to go to just anyone for drivetrain repair. You want to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care. We can help repair all of your 2021 Toyota Sienna drivetrain components including the CV joints, CV axles, and driveshaft. Your Toyota Sienna may need driveshaft attention if you feel vibration as your vehicle accelerates, clunks when shifting, heavy vibrations in your floorboards, or resistance when turning. It's hard to put a timeframe on drivetrain repair. The system's pieces and parts don't necessarily have a "shelf life." A lot depends on your driving style and climate. That’s one reason it’s a wise idea to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care at the first sign your Toyota Sienna doesn’t drive like it used to.

Is normal to wonder whether or not 2021 Toyota Sienna drivetrain repair is expensive. Some smaller differential fixes, like seal or gasket replacement, can lean toward being more affordable. Big repairs, like bearing or gear replacement, require more labor and can therefore be more expensive.
