Reversing Sensors Goosed On T180 Help

[anchorman]

The ECU should be mounted inside the access panel on the passenger side boot wall. Open it up and look in just to the right. Check out page 15;

cheers Don.Yeah Imfoiund the ECU box after your first posting of the diognosis page from Toyota. Checked the connections etc and the fuse. All ok. it says next step is to check the connections with a meter (which i aint got) Ill pop it down toi my mate and he can check it.. Sounds like the speaker or the ECU has packed in to me

[wardude]

well i have done all the checks. (fuse, made sure power is there, speaker is ok) so it looks like a new ECU is needed. Dread to think what Mr T wants for that. Just e mailed PK and ill wait in suspense :!Removed!:

New ECU thingy ordered from PK. £67 delivered so not as bad as I thought. Just hope it IS the ecu

My reverse parking sensors have packed in. i hear there is a switch in the boot somwhere to switch them off but I cant find it anywhere or find any ref to sesors in the manual. Any ideas?? Reverse lights both working fine. No beeping at all coming from the system.

Check if there is a 'plug in' connector that has come loose or is corroded,in the cable to the sensors - it might be behind the bumper - mine did come out once and they stopped working until it was pushed back together !

Good point Guy - with all the snow and ice hanging like 'dags' under the rear there could be a lot of weight pulling on wires/connectors.

cheers. Had a look and the only plug in connector under the bumper I can see is right under the n/s tail light. Its firmly together. All I can see running behine the bumper is several thin black wires with no connectors. Fingers crossed the new ECU works

new ECU from Parts king, £70. BINGO. I have sensors again. RESULT
