I too am a new owner. In my case, it’s a 2011. I note this thread to another new owner and agree it only makes sense to get a scanner and at least find out what’s going on. In my case, however, my ability to address issues is limited, very limited.
First, I’m curious to learn how many things are addressable by owners when they go wrong. While I don’t know details, just the top mechanism seems rife with sensors, micro switches and gosh knows what else. If I learned that micro switch Z38a44k went bad via the scanner, is it possible for me to replace it? I haven’t a clue all these devices’ locations.
Second, how much does an appropriate scanner cost? I have an $80 generic that works all right on my 2000 Tacoma so when things go odd, I can have an idea of what’s up before I see a repair facility. Although that begs the question of if I need to assure myself that the garage’s diagnosis is accurate then do I want to take my vehicle to such a place for repairs?
As to the OP’s passenger door, I’d suspect the unlock mechanism has failed.
