Malfunctions and warning light on Toyota Hiace '06: experience and solutions wanted

Hi guys, I need your help. My old '06 Toyota Hiace (gasoline engine, mileage 109,179 KM) is acting up. The parking distance control no longer works, I have various electrical malfunctions and a warning light in the speedometer. An error is also stored. I suspect it could be related to the radar sensor, which is also no longer making a sound. Have any of you had similar problems and if so, how did you solve them? I'm also interested in experiences with garages because my last visit to the mechanic didn't go so well. Thank you!

Hi, I had a similar problem with my '07 Toyota Avensis. It turned out that the sensor was dirty. Basically they had to clean it and reset it. It wasn't a big deal, but the malfunctions can be pretty annoying. Simple service at the garage solved it. Hope this helps you out!

Hey, thanks for the info! Good to know it was just a simple clean and reset for you. How much did that cost you if you can remember? Has anything else come up since they cleaned the sensor? My Hiace is really giving me a headache and I'm trying to estimate repair costs as best I can. Thanks again!

Hey, you're welcome! The cleaning and reset of the dirty sensor cost me €45. A bargain when you consider what a nuisance the whole thing was. And I can happily say that the radar sensor has been working perfectly since the visit to the mechanic. No further problems have arisen since then. So I think your Hiace will be the same. Good luck with it and don't hang your head!

Great, thanks for the clarification! That's really reassuring to hear that it hasn't caused you any more trouble. And for €45, that doesn't sound too bad either. I will definitely look for a garage and have the sensor cleaned and reset. I've had enough of these constant malfunctions. Thanks for the help and encouragement, I feel much better equipped!
