I posted something about this yesterday and having brought it back to dealers I thought I'd share my experience because it can't possibly just be my car that's having the issue.

The problem was that the front parking sensor kept alarming even when the road ahead is clear . The only way to stop it was to disable the park assist (the sensors, nothing to do with the self parking option) on the settings screen.

To clarify, sensor 1 kept alarming:

I bought it back to the dealers this morning and after several test drives, emails and tech reports to Toyota, phone calls to to Toyota Ireland and about 2 hours it turns out the problem was the number plate surround that the garage fitted had been triggering the front sensor randomly. It's also not the first time Toyota Ireland had heard of the issue.

It can't possibly just be my garage that's made this error.

Hopefully this will be of use to anyone having a similar problem.

I work out how to turn my parking sensors on!

I Can't work out how to turn my parking sensors on I mean!

On the heads up display go right over to settings (the cogs)
Hit down and there should be an option there to toggle them on off.

Thank You so very much for this...My CHR has been in the garage to get this fault fixed. I shared this thread with them and sure enough, it was the number plate being too long.

What they did notice is the the Number plate plinth on the Excel is different to that on the Dynamic, hence the fault seems to be on Excels only.

Thanks again...Looking forwards to enjoying my CHR at last.!

Ah ok that makes sense,

My CHR is a sol trim. The first one to go through my local toyota garage, it must have the same plinth, hence why nobody else's car had the same issue.

hi I have a 2018 Dynamic and my front sensors keep going off - I removed the front plate and the problem was solved. My dealer doesn't seem to know what to do as permanent solution , my plate overhangs the plinth which it doesn't on the 2017 models, although the plate is the same size!.
Any solutions or suggestions out there?

I had the same problem but it stopped as soon as it started, not sure what was up with it

Although there was nothing on them I cleaned the front sensors and it stopped so I asssume it was road dirt

I think my car may have the same problem, going to speak to the dealer and see what happens, I have a 2018 Dynamic

I had the problem by not beeping. Complained twice to vendor. They raised the Number plate higher up, do not know how
mutch.
If I was you, I will have tried to renovering the plate for a trail ride, and see if the beeping stoppes.

 

[icemangrmed]

I had the same problem, took some time to figure it out, now it's all good

 

[Pete123]

Thanks You very much for this info ...problem solved

 

[Bazc1]

The dealer repositioned the number plate a bit higher and the problem was solved, if the number plate hangs below the plinth the sensors pick it up, all good now!

Hi
Im having same problem today, its happened all of a sudden. The other day had to remove battery to charge it. When installing it back everything was fine except for IPA which I needed to be driving the car at over 25mph for like 5 seconds but that was sorted and sensors also worked fine. Today i am having this front sensor problem as explained on this forum. Haven't tried the number plate thing as i have just read this but it was all working fine yesterday? Any suggestions please?
Thanks

Did you find out why the plinth was too long? Did dealer fit wrong one, or is there a derivative for Excel spec?
