2000 Toyota Sienna Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to service and repair the Throttle Cable/linkage with a cruise control system on 2000 Toyota Sienna?

  A: The cruise control actuator requires disconnection of the connector along with removal of its securing 3 bolts as the first step for servicing or repairing the throttle cable/linkage. The next step involves loosening the adjusting nut to break the throttle cable connection from the throttle linkage. First disconnect the park/neutral position switch and after that remove the valve body. Start by removing the bolt then the retaining plate before removing the throttle cable from the transaxle case. During new throttle cable replacement you need to form a 200-mm-radius (7.87 inches), lightly pull the inner wire until it meets resistance before setting the stopper at 0.8 - 1.5 mm distance (0.031 - 0.059 inch) from the outer cable end. To install the throttle cable at the transaxle case use a new O-ring and pull it to its proper length before securing it with the retaining bolt which requires 10 Nm of torque (100 kgf-cm or 7 ft. lbs.). The valve body installation must follow by adding the park/neutral position switch and for cruise control the actuator bolts should go in along with its connector before returning the battery unit. Use the throttle cable to attach the throttle linkage of the engine while filling with ATF before checking the fluid level and properly adjusting the throttle cable length.
