Yaris automatic transmission parking issue

Hey, I have a Yaris too and that sounds familiar. I had a similar issue with mine a while back. Check engine light, weird shifting... Drove me nuts. Does it feel like it's getting stuck in park sometimes?

It does exhibit that behavior intermittently. The gear shifter seems reluctant to disengage from the parking position on occasion. Is this consistent with the issues you faced? Were there any specific error codes you recall?

Yep, sounds like the same headache. Unfortunately, I don't remember the exact error codes, but my mechanic said it was something to do with a faulty transmission sensor. Honestly, with those symptoms, especially if a control unit is flagged, I'd strongly recommend getting it checked out by a reputable transmission specialist. Could save you a lot of hassle in the long run.

Sharing your experiences has proven invaluable. Based on your recommendation and further consultation, it appears that the control unit is defective. The repair, including parts and labor, is estimated at 1000€. I appreciate your guidance and support.
