2005 Toyota Sienna Service and Repair Manual

Fitment is the point of this one: the 2005 Toyota Sienna service and repair manual is written to this exact model year, to the 3.3L V6 (3MZ-FE) sitting in the engine bay and to the trims Toyota actually built, so the figures and tightening sequences you work to are the ones published for your van instead of something carried over from a neighboring year.

Known issues on the 2005 Sienna. Eight recalls are on federal record for this model year, and they land on very different parts of the van. One covers the automatic transmission, where the shift lever can be moved out of the Park position without the brake applied. A seat belt recall covers the middle-row shoulder belt, which may bind in the bezel trim piece and leave extra webbing in the belt. A structure recall covers a cable that may break due to excessive corrosion, after which the spare tire may separate from the vehicle. An engine and engine cooling recall covers the power steering pump belt, which may become detached from the pulley. A front seat heater recall covers the copper strand heating element, which may short circuit if damaged and increase the risk of a fire. The remaining three are labeling recalls: on one, the GVWR is insufficient for the load carrying capacity of the vehicles; on a second, issued by Southeast Toyota, a driver may overload the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash; on a third, issued by Gulf States Toyota, the vehicle does not meet the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 110, covering tire selection and rims. Owners have logged 1,418 complaints for the year, and Toyota has issued 129 technical service bulletins. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems are here.

From a shift lever that leaves Park without the brake applied to a corroded cable that lets the spare tire go, a power steering belt off its pulley or a routine service on the 3.3L V6, it puts the factory procedure and the correct specification for this exact 2005 Sienna in front of you.
