Understanding your 2015 Toyota Sienna’s fuse box is crucial for maintaining its electrical components. Fuses protect your vehicle’s systems from power surges, and knowing their location and function can save you time and money on repairs. If you’re experiencing issues with your cigarette lighter (power outlet) or need to access the OBD2 port for diagnostics and suspect a blown fuse, this guide is for you. We’ll pinpoint the exact fuses for the cigarette lighter and OBD2 system in your 2015 Toyota Sienna, ensuring you can quickly troubleshoot and resolve common electrical problems.
Your 2015 Toyota Sienna utilizes two primary fuse box locations. For the cigarette lighter and OBD2 fuses, you’ll primarily need to focus on the fuse box located inside the vehicle. However, it’s beneficial to be aware of both locations for comprehensive troubleshooting.
The two fuse box locations are:
- Engine compartment: This fuse box houses fuses related to engine management and other critical vehicle systems.
- Under the driver’s side instrument panel: This fuse box, located inside the cabin, contains fuses for interior accessories and convenience features, including the cigarette lighter and OBD2 port.
While the engine compartment fuse box is important for overall vehicle function, the cigarette lighter and OBD2 fuses are found within the instrument panel fuse box, inside the cabin of your 2015 Toyota Sienna.

The diagram above illustrates the engine compartment fuse box. This box is typically used for fuses related to the engine, headlights, and other major systems. While it’s good to be aware of its location, the fuses we are focusing on, namely the cigarette lighter and OBD2 fuses, are located in the interior fuse box.
Now, let’s focus on the interior fuse box, which is more relevant to our search for the cigarette lighter and OBD2 fuses. This fuse box is situated under the driver’s side instrument panel, easily accessible from inside the vehicle.

This diagram highlights the fuse box located under the driver’s side instrument panel. Here, you will find the fuses for your 2015 Toyota Sienna’s interior features, including the cigarette lighter (power outlet) and the OBD2 port. Let’s examine the fuse chart to specifically identify these fuses.
Referring to the fuse chart for the “Under the driver’s side instrument panel” fuse box, we can pinpoint the fuses for the cigarette lighter and OBD2 system:
| Type | No. | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Fuse MINI 15A | 23 | (CIG) Power outlets View problems with the cigarette lighter fuse… |
| Fuse MINI 7.5A | 18 | (OBD) On-board diagnosis system |

Cigarette Lighter Fuse: Fuse number 23, labeled (CIG), is a 15A Mini fuse. This fuse protects the power outlets in your 2015 Toyota Sienna, commonly referred to as the cigarette lighter or accessory power outlets. If your cigarette lighter or power outlets are not working, this is the first fuse to check.
-
OBD2 Fuse: Fuse number 18, labeled (OBD), is a 7.5A Mini fuse. This fuse is crucial for the On-Board Diagnostics system, specifically the OBD2 port. The OBD2 port is used for connecting diagnostic scanners to read vehicle data and troubleshoot issues. If you are unable to connect a scanner to your OBD2 port, checking this fuse is essential.
Troubleshooting and Fuse Replacement:
If you suspect a blown fuse for either the cigarette lighter or OBD2 port, follow these steps:
- Locate the Interior Fuse Box: Access the fuse box under the driver’s side instrument panel as shown in the diagrams.
- Identify the Fuse: Using the fuse box diagram (often found on the fuse box cover itself or in your owner’s manual) and the table above, locate fuse number 23 (CIG) for the cigarette lighter and fuse number 18 (OBD) for the OBD2 port.
- Inspect the Fuse: Carefully remove the fuse using a fuse puller (usually located in the engine compartment fuse box). Check the fuse filament. If it’s broken or melted, the fuse is blown.
- Replace the Fuse: Replace the blown fuse with a new fuse of the exact same type and amperage (15A for CIG, 7.5A for OBD). Using a fuse with a higher amperage can damage your vehicle’s electrical system.
- Test the System: After replacing the fuse, test the cigarette lighter or OBD2 port to see if it’s now functioning correctly.
Conclusion:
Knowing the location of the cigarette lighter and OBD2 fuses in your 2015 Toyota Sienna is a valuable skill for any owner. By using this guide, you can quickly identify and check these fuses within the instrument panel fuse box. Remember to always replace a blown fuse with one of the correct amperage to ensure the safety and proper function of your vehicle’s electrical system. Regularly checking your fuses can help you diagnose and resolve minor electrical issues, keeping your 2015 Toyota Sienna running smoothly.
