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!

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?
