I recently had the coolant replaced and now no heat is coming from the rear heating system. The fan works but no heat is produced. Could this be related to the coolant changeover?

If you just had the system serviced, chances are there is air in the system that is causing the problem. Take it back to the people that did the work and ask them to bleed the air out of the system because you are getting no heat.

Please run down this guide and report back.

My problem is that when my van is at idle the heater blows cold air. whether the van is in Park or Drive. When the van is in motion it does produces heat. It does not produce heat like it should though. thanks

My 2005 Toyota Sienna will blow any heat in the rear. I get heat in the front, however I only get cold air from the rear blower. Any Ideas what the cause of this could be?Why would I get heat in the front but not in the back?

Hey YECNAD,

Yes these cars had a problem with the blend door actuator which will cause the heater not to work in the rear of the car. It is not to bad to replace BTW. Here is a guide that will help you see what you are in for when replacing it.

Here is a diagram to help you see what it will be like in your car (below)

Please let us know what happens so it will help others.

Heater problem 6 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic 105000 miles

My heater blows cold air even after the car has been running for awhile. When I am driving the heat will blow hot but as soon as my foot comes off the gas the heat blows cold. I had the same issue on my 2000 and the dealer said it was a blown headgasket. I had it fixed but I still have my doubts if that was truly it.

A bad head gasket can cause the heater to stop working. Here is a couple of guides to get us started in confirming the problem and getting it fixed.

XLE van. Passenger side seat heater does not heat although the light in the dash switch comes on. Took it to Toyota for analysis and upon return the driver side has also failed after their "testing". Fuses have been checked. I need a diagnostic procedure or repair procedure.

There is a seat heater ECU that sounds like it is out, but to be sure please test the connection by following this guide and the seat heater wiring diagram.

Check out the diagrams (below).

Please let us know what you find.

Thanks for the guide. I did some testing and you were right it was the seat heater ECU. I replaced it now everything works! I love this site.
