    Got a 2018 TRD Offroad a few weeks ago, it's my first truck, I had a Rubicon before this. While I love the truck, one little annoyance is the Collision Sensor. Sometimes for no reason it shows as off when I start the truck, sometimes it goes away after a few minutes. I understand it can get dirty but for the liberty of me I can't find through Google where the sensor is? Is it part of the camera array on the windshield?

    Isn't it on the front emblem, right on the grill? You can turn this off, as well (although I'm sure it resets every time you turn on the truck).

    I'm sure the reason it takes a minute because it has to actually power on the system. Just like a computer in your home it has to warm up

    Yes I think you are correct, in the front emblem. I stopped by the dealership last week and noticed the emblem seems to be bigger, kind of see through and something behind it.

    The sensor is behind the grille emblem along with the giant black box behind the rear view mirror.

    Thank you everyone, I really appreciate it. Now I know where to clean to fix this in the future.
