2004 Toyota Sienna Expansion Valve Location

In this video I show where the expansion valve is located on a 2004 Toyota Sienna. I also show that you can get to it without removing the dash as the manual i found said you had to. sorry i do not show every step involved in getting to it.

Thanks so much for sharing. I am doing complete AC rebuild! Really helpful

Sorry it’s frustrating to you. My main purpose of the video was to show the location of the txv and that it was possible to get to it without removing the dash.

Tim Morgan I'll be doing this on the weekend. Very helpful to know the dash doesn't have to come out like the newer models

That’s only thing I needed to know you can do it without pulling the dash thanks

Orings started leaking.... or at least I hope that is what is :) thanks for the details.

Thanks just showing you got it out let me do the same, why did you have to change expansion valve?
It looks like my lines are leaking, dye all over the foam and spots on ac lines. It's not easy by any means unless you've been doing this sh*t for years :), even then it's under dash work pita.
People looking to do this disconnect battery! remove glove boxes, 3 fan screws, ECM & the wire holder next to it (1 bolt) then start taking the Phillips screws out of the lower unit and ALL the 10mm nuts you can find up top, under the carpet, behind the console. A couple of wiring plugs towards the middle and try to separate the top and bottom. If it doesn't come apart you missed screws. Then just wiggle it out of the vents and down.
I'll try to post a video in a week or 2. It is just kind of looking at it and figuring out what to remove. If you honestly only do basic bolt-on car repairs I'd take it in...

I was replacing the compressor for a friend and the kit he purchased came with a new exv and desiccant bag so i replaced everything that was included.
