Parking Sensors Not Working

Hello,

Our 54reg Avensis's parking sensors have stopped working. No more beeps as you reverse. We no longer get the beep as you put it into reverse either. Any ideas what it might be? Car is a 2.4litre automatic hatchback 2004 with 73k on the clock.

Many thanks,

Rob

If they're the Toyota parking sensors, there is usually a switch somewhere in the boot area to disable them. Try opening the hatch in the boot lining which gives access to the rear light cluster bulbs - go for the side with the reversing light first - and the switch is sometimes placed in that area. If you've had anything bulky in the boot, the switch may have been inadvertently turned off.

Hello Mike, Thanks for the info. I had a look in the boot and did not find an on/off switch. Ours does not have a towbar, so maybe the switch is not fitted.

Had a look in the left side pull off compartment and found our red parking sensor wire had unplugged itself from the Toyota black box in there. Plugged it in and the sensors are working great now. Too many speed bumps must have worked the plug loose.

Hope this helps others out there.

Many thanks,

Rob
