Pre-collision system malfunction

Will Carista reset the rear parking assist sensors?

 

I turned off my seatbelt chimes, set the PCS to remember the last state, changed my turn signal from 3 to 5 blinks, and recorded my TPMS sensor IDs. There are lots more options you can customize.

 

These are the parking assist options. It will also show any fault codes.

Rear parking sensor range
NARROW / *WIDE*

Mute parking sensor when stationary for more than 3 sec.
YES / *NO*

Parking sensor beep volume
1 / 2 / *3* / 4 / MAX

Disable temporary muting of parking sensor above…
AUTOMATIC / 15 KM/H / *20 KM/H* / 30 KM/H

Display temporary parking sensor muting status
*YES* / NO

Activate parking sensors in neutral (N)
*YES* / NO

Enable rear parking sensors when in neutral or forward gear
REAR / REAR CORNER / *OFF*

 

That's awesome! I'll let you knkow how it goes. Thanks for the help.

 

This Carista sounds amazing!! Almost too good to be true.

 

Thanks for the advice!
The Carista is very simple to operate, just plug it into your OBD2, download the app, and away you go!

I hooked up the "Carista" and it worked like a charm. I was able to clear the fault, then it let me change the setting in the system to remember the last setting for the PCS system. You can turn the system off as one of the normal settings on your dash. It now "remembers" to stay off as the default setting. There are a couple drawbacks by doing this. The "PCS off" dash light is always on, I can live with that. The adaptive cruise doesn't work either. I wasn't in love with this feature, and thought that it was slighltly annoying at times. I think that the only way to keep it would be to change my grill to a offroad or SR5 grill, where the sensor is mounted higher and should avoid the raised bumper and winch. This might not work either though, especially when I go to mount some offroad lights there. So I will live with the adaptive cruise off. The old school cruise works now though. It stopped working altogether after I got the message to go "see the dealer".

I was also able to adjust other features in my truck, such as the seatbelt beep, door locks, and such. I immediately turned off the seatbelt beep, and made a few other adjustments. The only complaint I have is that it wasn't able to adjust any of the settings on my 2012 FJ Cruiser. That car isn't "supported".


The "Carista", in my opinion, is worth the money spent. I bought it off of Amazon for $20.00, and then, to be able to use the "advanced" settings, I had to buy a year or a week subscription. The one week is $10 bucks and the year is $40. I did the year because you get the first month free. I plan on cancelling it before the month is up so that I won't incur that $40 charge. If I would have gone to the dealer, I would be out a lot more money than that, closer to $150, and they wouldn't have shut off that annoying seatbelt chime either. The Carista is the way to go for sure.

 

If you have a windows laptop the techstream cable is better imo and would work with your fj.

 

I have access to one, my daughters. Thanks for the advice.

 

so im having the same problem. Im having a PCS malfunction - visit dealer and toyota won't recalibrate it for me because im not at stock height. You think the Carista will fix my problem and get rid of the warning?

 

Thank god I bought my '17 in 2018. You can keep all that safety crap....
