    I charged the battery and now the radar functions are not working like adaptive cruise control Collsion Avoidance and BSM. Is it something simple to fix? I get the warning messages that they are not working.

    MIL on? First things I would check are making sure that the sensor (Toyota emblem) is clean and free of debris, followed by fuses.

    Back up a little bit.

    Why did you need to charge the battery? Seems odd you'd need to charge the battery on such a new vehicle.

    Also, if you don't already have one, get an OBDII code reader. I have one that's bluetooth and connects to my phone via the Torque Pro app (there's a free version, or spend a whopping $5 for the pro version). Highly recommend it. It does a lot more than just read codes. You can monitor all sorts of stuff like trans temp etc...

    But as said above, check the most obvious stuff first, like an obstructed censor.
