Aygo Radar Sensor Errors

My 2007 Toyota Aygo diesel is throwing a fit. I'm getting an error message and a warning light, plus the error memory's full of radar sensor errors, causing other systems to fail. The car has 161336 km on it. Anyone else seen this? I'm guessing it might be something simple, like the sensor being dirty?

I had a similar issue with my Aygo, although I didn't see as many system failures. The error message and warning light were definitely there. Have you checked the sensor itself for any visible dirt or obstructions? Where is the sensor located in your car?

I was planning to give it a look this weekend, but where exactly is the radar sensor located on the Aygo? I don't want to start taking apart the wrong bits! Also, did cleaning it solve the problem for you?

On mine, it's behind the front bumper, pretty centrally located. Honestly, I tried cleaning it myself but didn't have much luck. I ended up taking it to a workshop, they sorted it out quickly. They said something about needing to recalibrate it after cleaning, but they did mention the sensor was dirty as a possible cause. Might be worth a try, but be prepared to visit a pro if it doesn't work.

I gave the sensor a good clean, but the errors were still popping up. I took it to a shop. Turns out, a proper clean and recalibration did the trick! Cost me 45€, but everything's working perfectly now. Appreciate the help!
