2006 Sienna Traction Control and Auto Braking Issues

Topic starter

My Sienna has been having intermittent issues with the traction control warning sounding while the van brakes pretty hard.  Happens in low and high speeds. The power also trims when this occurs.  

 

The problem has been happening off and on for a couple of years and has steadily gotten worse.  I read that one possible issue could be loose bushings on the steering rack.  Does Scotty have a video showing how to diagnose if the rack and pinion needs to be replaced due to loose bushings?

Thanks Jacksonishere.  I had actually found that video but it didn’t touch on how to diagnose bad bushings.  Toyota has been AWFUL with this issue and most dealers - and many independent mechanics - have had difficulty figuring out how to fix this problem.  It usually ends up costing thousands of dollars with no resolution.  Lots and lots of frustrated Sienna owners out there.  As common as it seams, I was hoping Scotty had come across this and made a video about it...but I guess not.
