New user here - I hope I have posted in the correct subforum! Recently my car was reversed at low speed into another car (I wasn't driving and parking sensors were working at that time!). Since then the sensors have not been working. There is a different pitched beep for about 5 second then a solid tone for about 10 seconds then nothing. I think I can see which sensor was damaged. Can the individual sensor be replaced? I have installed a new set of parking sensors on a Skoda Fabia previously. If a sensor can be replaced could a keen amateur do it?? Thanks iPhone ?
Your profile says “2011 Prius,” so I’m assuming that your Prius was produced before the minor model change in December 2011, and that it is fitted with the Toyota Parking Aid (TPA) system offered as a dealer-installed accessory in Europe. Yes, I think so, though you may have to buy a set of four sensors, even if you only replace one. The Accessory Installation Manual documents for TPA Front (RHD) and TPA Rear are available for viewing in PDF at no charge on toyota-tech.eu. According to these manuals, a kit of four sensors has Toyota part number PZ464-00422-**, where ** is 00 for an unpainted black sensor, AB for one with primer only, or an abbreviation for the car’s three-character exterior paint color code (e.g., 040 for Super White II): Sensor Kit Part Number Exterior Paint Color Code 1 PZ464-00422-00 Unpainted Black 2 PZ464-00422-AB Primer Only 3 PZ464-00422-BA 040 4 PZ464-00422-BP 218 5 PZ464-00422-CF 3P0 6 PZ464-00422-CN 4W4 7 PZ464-00422-DC 1G3 8 PZ464-00422-DF 3R3 9 PZ464-00422-HU 209 10 PZ464-00422-MG 1F7 11 PZ464-00422-MK 8R3 12 PZ464-00422-MM 8S6 13 PZ464-00422-MT 4T3 14 PZ464-00422-MU 4T8 15 PZ464-00422-MX 5A7 16 PZ464-00422-MZ 6T7 17 PZ464-00422-NE 070 18 PZ464-00422-NF 6V5 19 PZ464-00422-NG 9AH 20 PZ464-00422-NH 9AK 21 PZ464-00422-NI 8U5 22 PZ464-00422-NJ 1G6 23 PZ464-00422-NL 8V1 24 PZ464-00422-NV 8T5 I don’t see why not; see the instructions linked above.
Thanks so much for your really helpful info I've had a quick look for the spares. Don't think I'll get a colour matched one so will probably just have to spray it. Thanks again iPhone ?
