Steering problem
1999 Toyota Sienna 6 cyl Two Wheel Drive Automatic 119000 miles
----------------------------------------------------------------
When I grab the selector lever to change from Parking (P) to Drive (D) or Reverse (R), is really hard to move it down it kinda gets stuck. Then when I move it up to the Parking (P) to park is still hard and the light where it tells me on what letter I have it dissapears, if I let the brake go the van goes back and the light comes back on but on Reverse (R) not where I put it on (P). I have to move the selector lever up and down in order to let it stay on (P) with the light on and not on reverse. If I keep doing that am I messing up something on the van, like the transmission or something? How can I fix it? Thank you

ARTICLE BEGINNING
DESCRIPTION
Transmission/transaxle is equipped with a electronically controlled shift lock and key lock system. See Fig. 1 . Shift lock system prevents shift lever from being moved from Park unless brake pedal is depressed. In case of a malfunction, shift lever can be released by depressing shift lock override button, located near shift lever. Key lock system prevents ignition key from being moved from ACC to LOCK position on ignition switch unless shift lever is in Park.
System consists of brakelight switch, key interlock solenoid, shift lock control switch, shift lock control Electronic Control Unit (ECU), shift lock solenoid and shift lock release button. All models may not be equipped with all components. See Fig. 1 .

NOTE: Sienna is equipped with cable operated shift lock system. See CABLE OPERATED SHIFT LOCK SYSTEM CHECK and ADJUSTMENTS .

OPERATION
SHIFT LOCK SYSTEM
With ignition on, when brake pedal is depressed, an input signal is sent from brakelight switch to ECU. With shift lever in Park, an input signal from shift control switch is input to ECU, indicating shift lever is in Park. ECU then operates shift lock solenoid, so shift lever can be moved from Park.
KEY LOCK SYSTEM
With ignition in ON or ACC position and shift lever in Park, shift lock control switch opens and voltage from ECU to key interlock solenoid is turned off. When key interlock solenoid is turned off, ignition key can be turned from ACC to LOCK position on ignition switch.
COMPONENT TESTS

NOTE: If ignition is left in ACC or ON position with shift lever in any gear range except Park for about one hour, ECU then operates to release lock mechanism.

ELECTRONIC CONTROL UNIT (ECU)
Access ECU. See Fig. 1 . ECU is under center console, in front or back of shifter. Turn ignition on. Backprobing ECU harness connector with DVOM, check voltage between designated terminals.

Thanks for the reply but it did not help me much and the picure (diagram) is not where the lever selector of my sienna is. But thank s anyway....
