I have a 2005 Toyota Sienna that I guess was a "base" model and it does not have traction control. It was available as an option, so I was wondering if anyone has ever added it after the fact, either by having a dealer do it, or getting the additional parts and doing it themselves.
I'm in the process of downloading the pertinent parts of the service manual to see what additional parts are needed, and if the wheel sensors for the ABS only models are the same as the ABS plus traction/stability control models. I do plan to look and see if the wiring harness has the necessary conductors, or if that was totally different.

It can be done but I don't know if I would want to do it to a 14 year old vehicle. Traction control has it's moments but generally either your car will go or it wont and most of the time I get into a situation where my car wont go (stop at a snowy intersection for example) the traction control is no help and I shut it off so I can try to get myself going.
Good luck with your project.

Nope gave up on the idea, I'll probably be selling the van before the end of the year anyway.
