Rear Sensors not working

[Gaurav Bhandari]

My Car was not used for a month as I went abroad. However, when I returned back I realised that the reverse sensors of the car stopped working. The car no longer beeps when closing an obstacle. I was so reliant on it that I was almost about to hot another car while parking, but did not... Has anyone experienced the same issue? and what should I do to resolve it ? Visit Lexus service center?

Hmm, did not think about it. Can they be turned off? I checked the settings from OEM and the settings were correct. Is there any other way i could have turned them off?? Oh no while writing it back to you I guess I have disabled the parking while getting the car washed by automatic machine at shell… will check it first thing tomorrow…. Maybe that is the reason… thanks for your help.

Location of switch as per post above and you should get the parking sensor indicator light on in the instrument cluster when switched on.

My Grandson likes to open the boot. I nearly hit something after he'd pressed my sensors button by mistake! Always check the green light is on now.

You could always disable the valvet button in glove box, this will kill the boot switch, but you will need to remember to disable it or you won't be able to get into the boot 🤣
