Verso automatic transmission parking issue

I have a 2018 Toyota Verso, diesel engine, with 44194 km. The automatic transmission seems to have a defect related to the parking position. Sometimes the engine won't start, the check engine light comes on, the gearbox slips, and there's an error stored. Any ideas?

A 2018 Toyota Verso with an automatic transmission is experiencing issues related to the parking position, causing the engine not to start, the check engine light to illuminate, and the gearbox to slip. Diagnostics suggest a defective control unit as the cause. A similar case was resolved by replacing the faulty control unit, and it is recommended to consult a trusted mechanic for this complex repair.

Wow, that sounds like what happened with my Verso. Same symptoms – engine wouldn't start sometimes, check engine light, and the shifting felt rough. Have you run diagnostics? Mine was a faulty control unit in the transmission. Did you notice when the issue was more likely to occur?

Thanks. A diagnostic check pointed to a defective control unit. Was the parking position also a factor for you? Can you give more detail about the control unit?

Yes, the parking position was definitely part of it. The car wouldn't always recognize it was in park, so it wouldn't start. I'm not sure of the exact part number. I took it to a workshop, and they fixed it. I'd recommend a trusted mechanic since it's complex.

Thanks for confirming the similar issues. I've arranged for my mechanic to inspect and repair the control unit. The estimated repair is 1000€.
