Avensis Gear Display and Starting Problems

I've got a perplexing issue with my 2002 Toyota Avensis diesel. I'm getting an error, the gear selection display on the speedometer is malfunctioning, cruise control isn't working, and sometimes the engine won't start. It's done 150466 km. I suspect a faulty clutch pedal switch. Anyone experienced similar issues? I've checked some cable and plug connections, but I'm stuck.

I had something similar with my Avensis, though I never found a solution. Error messages all over, especially impacting the start. It began with the cruise control refusing to activate, then gear selection was impacted, and then no starting at all! Was the error related to the clutch switch?

That sounds eerily similar. Yes, the error points towards the clutch switch or its circuitry. Were you able to resolve the issue? I am afraid of more serious damage.

I eventually brought it to a workshop. They replaced the switch, and the problem vanished, but it was costly. I suggest you bring it to a professional, it is a 95€ fix. I'd still put my money on the switch.

Thanks. That sounds sensible. I'll get it to the shop and have the clutch switch replaced. Appreciate the insight, especially confirming it's likely the switch!
