Yaris tailgate hall sensor issue

Hey, I've got a 2003 Toyota Yaris with a gasoline engine and a strange problem. The tailgate doesn't open fully, and I found an error related to the tailgate hall sensor. I suspect it's a cable or plug issue. Anyone experienced this before?

I also have a Yaris and had a similar problem with the tailgate not opening properly. Was the error message specific? Did you check the wiring harness where it enters the tailgate? That area is known for flexing and causing wire breaks.

Thanks for the tip! Yes, the error message points directly to the hall sensor in the tailgate lock. I haven't checked the harness thoroughly yet, just visually. Did you manage to fix yours yourself, or did you take it to a workshop?

While a visual inspection is a good start, it may not reveal internal wire damage. In my professional opinion, the sensor defect is most likely caused by defective wiring. I recommend that you entrust the troubleshooting to a specialist.

Okay, thanks for the advice. Sounds like I'll need to get it checked out by a pro. I appreciate the help! I will let you know what the outcome is. Workshop estimated 95€ for the repair.
