RAV4 Clutch Pedal Switch Problems

My 2012 Toyota RAV4, gasoline engine, is exhibiting a peculiar fault. The clutch pedal switch seems to be the culprit, as I'm getting errors stored in the memory. Strangely, the gear selection display in the speedometer is non-functional, the cruise control is dead, and sometimes the engine refuses to start. Could a defective cable or plug connection really cause all this chaos? Has anyone else experienced such a cascade of failures from a single faulty switch?

Wow, that sounds familiar! I have a RAV4 too, and I had a similar problem with the cruise control and starting issues a while back. Though, I didn't notice anything with the gear selection display. Could it really be just a faulty switch?

Indeed, quite perplexing! When you had those symptoms, did the error memory also point to the clutch pedal switch? And did you also find any obvious defects with the cable or plug connection? I'm trying to avoid unnecessary replacements if possible.

Honestly, I didn't dive too deep into the error codes myself. I just took it to a workshop, and they mentioned something about a safety switch being faulty. I think it was related to the clutch. It fixed the problem right away. I would advise you to do the same.

Understood. It seems a trip to the workshop is inevitable. I appreciate you sharing your experience! Turns out, a new clutch pedal switch and some wiring repair did the trick, just as suspected. Cost me 95€, but at least the RAV4 is back on the road.
