I do not know if the Sienna has wear indicators or not. The wear indicators
are part of the brake pad so even if the original pads had wear indicators,
if aftermarket pads were installed, they may not.
Even if the vehicle has wear indicators, it is not a good idea to rely on
wear indicators to tell if you need brake pad replacement because the
indicators are only on the inner pads, and if the brakes wear unevenly or
the slide gets stuck, then you may never hear the squeal. The best way to
check brake pad wear is to visually inspect them.
On the other hand, if you are hearing the squeal from the wear indicators,
it is a good idea to have them checked out.
