- A Toyota master diagnostic technician explains how does blind spot monitoring work in Toyota products.
Toyota Safety Sense series can be found here:
• Toyota Safety Sense
In this video I will explain how the blind spot monitoring system works following the channel's theme of Simple but Complicated.
I will cover how it works for the consumer side briefly then I will cover how it actually work behind the scenes including the blind spot monitoring sensors behind the rear bumpers.
I will cover common issues with Toyota's blind spot monitor system and lastly I will cover how the calibration is done.

Toyota needs to officially hire you to make tutorial vidoes
It’s great to read the comment section and recognize there are a lot of mechanics learning from Mr. Car Care Master so that they can better serve their customers! Keep spreading your knowledge and experience!
I've been watching your videos for awhile now. I'm a big fan. I always knew Toyota was top notch, but you help me confirm that. I just bought a 2023 camry. your videos have helped me a lot to understand my car, and what I need to do to keep it top level.
The thing to remember, radar is radio waves and radio is a long wave form of light - which means it travels at the speed of light or 186,262 MILES per second. It travels about 11 yards in one nanosecond (1 billionth of a second). So even changing the sensor position a millimeter makes a huge difference in the reflection time and can cause significant errors.
Again, another well thought out and explained video. You are able to explain things in a clear and understand way. I like on this video that that you explain how BSM in our Toyota works but also you tell us also what to look out for esp if the vehicle is out of calibration due to accident. Thank You
With you, I always learn something new 🙂. Thanks!
I enjoy and appreciate your channel thumbs up 👍. The blind spot is the reason why I'm getting rid of my 2011 Toyota Prius and saving for a 2019 Toyota Corolla.
Great explanation, thanks! You have some great content. I really enjoy knowing how these various automotive systems actually work and where they have trouble. Modern cars are quite interesting.
Thank you for these videos. I haven't had a new car since 2010. I'm still getting familiar with all this tech stuff. It's like driving a computer. 2020 Camry.
Thanks for this video. Can you speak to how having a bike rack on the rear may trigger false alerts (if that’s possible)? On my new Grand Highlander I got a warning (without a bike rake) that the system failed and to take to dealer. On restarting it went away. Now, driving it gives all kinds of false positives. I’m wondering if a bike rack with a bike would impact the sensing.
I’m always leery of more advanced features. The more there is, the more that can go wrong. Plus on the odd car I have driven that has BSM, I feel that it doesn’t give sufficient warning in advance. Especially on the highways. As you already commented, I would never rely on the system when I’m on the highway which is why I’d like to have the small convexed highway mirrors on my car. Sadly Toyota has chosen not to install them on all of their vehicles and I have to purchase aftermarket ones. That is one feature that I feel is more important than having a Blindspot Monitoring System ... the ability to have a convexed mirror on both the left and the right side which will give you a view of traffic approaching on the left or the right side.
Thanks for sharing the awesome information! I just bought a Toyota RAV4 Hybrid & it has the BSM. It’s great to know these things.
you are amazing....a huge credit to your profession! I learn something every video.
The sensor actually texts the body computer what's going on ("Hey man..."). High-tech stuff, right there.🤣
Thanks for another fun and informative video. Keep 'em coming.
I just hope the computers don’t get carried away with texting and forget their job 😂
Thank you for watching!
Right! No "Christmas trees". Lol
I do like bsm, my favorite and probably more helpful to me is the cross traffic alert.
I REALLY enjoy these videos! Thanks AMD!
Thanks again for another great video.
Another great video. Thank you.
Great job and video like always
Excellent video, from a new subscriber!!
Your videos are always great and informative. I do have a question; I've had several non-toyota vehicles with BSM which beeped in addition to flashing a light. My 2023 Highlander Platinum flashes but does not beep. Is it possible to have beeping programmed at a dealership? Thanks and keep up the great vedios.
Thank you for your great videos! Do you have video about pre-collosion system malfunction?
Great Video, It's funny you could always tell a city car by it's chewed up bumpers. Many motorists use the park by feel method. Honda had honda vision,with a camera mounted in the mirror for awhile, to avoid bumper bashing.
Great video. The sensors can get damaged and out of alignment easily. Toyota should mount the sensors higher up around the level of the reversing camera or the tail lights.
Great video! Thank you
Thanks for explaining
My advice
All sinsors must be keep clean
Wonderful content man. Keep it up! Maybe a bit more show and tell.... Like going to the bumper and saying, see here it is ... And here is what the sensor and the bracket looks like on a customer vehicle. 👍
Thank you for watching my video Shane! I actually did do that but ended up cutting it out because my new camera decided to be out of focus and ruined the shot. Learning how to film effectively is a skill I’m learning too 😀
@@TheCarCareNut thanks! I'm sure it's not easy to film the "B Roll" and then edit it in. I wouldn't be able to that's for sure... Thanks again for the great content!
I have a Hiace which I designed and installed my own BSM using a normal PIR. All my work cars have WIFI, and used Sonoff bridge, two PIR mounted in the plastic rear bumper, and a wireless siren with flash light. It works fine, and its true if the angel of the PIR shifts, the system does not work. Anyway good insighful video
Yep,we installed rear back-up sensors on transit buses that set off an alarm and locked up the brakes till area was clear!! Back then it was 2 large devices on the left and right rear of the bus with driver alarm/control unit up front in drivers area.
All activated by CAN bust and reverse light activation.
There should be a blind spot monitor for the times I'm in someone else's blind spot. I'm more worried about that. 😁
There is! I call them air horns 😆
@@TheCarCareNut 😄
How did you even get a license?
Yeah like being in a blind spot of a 18 wheeler semi truck lol
Just get out of there quickly!
BSM is very helpful to me because motorcycles are always whizzing from all directions in our roads. Actually my favorite feature is the entire Toyota Safety Sense.
Thank you for your informative video. I have my Corolla cross 2023. Left side spot monitor sometime work and sometimes doesn’t work. Drive me crazy. The car is a brand new one and this happens. Feel sad about it. I thought Toyota did it right but it is so unfortunate. So what do you think my friend the possible reasons that causes it. Thank you.
Very helpful info, pls move to NYC Mr. AMD
Nice! Subscribed!
Very nice and explicit video. I wonder, can this BSM be activated/installed on a Toyota Corolla 2020 which came without this system? Can I add it later without affecting the warranty?
At the dealership level likely no. Aftermarket maybe but I have no experience with that so I can’t common on how good it is. With warranty if it causes issues related to the install it would void the warranty for that part or system affected.
I love the BSM with ACC, you initiate a lane change and the system will know whether it is safe to resume traveling at the faster speed.
Great video as always, and amazingly timely for me. My system is now saying there is a pro6and the lights on the mirrors stay on. Any quick resets or checks before I bring it in to the dealer? Thanks! Merry Christmas!
I would inspect the rear bumpers especially the sides. Any small contact with any other object?
@@TheCarCareNut not to my knowledge, but I'll definitely look!
Hi AMD! What if the side mirror brakes by accident? Does it requires any special reprogramming of changed the glass itself ?
I have a new Venza 2021 and I’m still learning… I had a 2017 Hyundai it had Blindspot monitor with lights and also with the sound I love the sound… It was very helpful my question is does this have sound? Thank you
When you turn your turn signals while there’s a car in your blind spot it will beep
@@TheCarCareNut how to turn on the beep sound for.the 2022 Rav4 hybrid xle premium. Thank you Mr.
My RAV4 2017 shows alart "BSM malfunctioning" sudently while I was driving. Is there a way to tell 1) the part is bad; or 2) need re-alignment? There are two parts, left (master) and right (slave). How can I tell which one is malfunctioning? Thanks. The video is good for knowledge.
Thanks for the very informative video .
My Prius had minor bump on the right side of the rear pumper that didn't require any repair and after around two weeks of the incident the BSM system error light came on and reading the error with my OBD reader it says something about horizontal axis .
I inspected the sensor and I saw no physical damage to the sensor itself of the wiring, however the mounting panel might have shifted slightly which I cannot detect .
I took the car to the dealer and after they weren't able to clear the code and they suggested that they can try to re-calibrate the system but they said that most times this won't fix it and they might have to cut and replace the inner panel to fix the issue .
This would cost quite a bit around 1500$ here and I'm not sure if it's worth it or if I should try another dealer .
The car was pushed by an SUV very slowly on the side of the pumper so I'm guessing the panel housing the sensor might have shifted slightly causing the miss-alignment .
Let me know you have any suggestions and if their estimate is on the higher side .
Thanks and all the best
Hi! They can move the bracket and try to bring it back into spec if not then unfortunately it will need body work
@@TheCarCareNut I'm suffering this thing right now. My car is at the dealership for a "Dent" with no signs of skratches, trash or hit damage, just an slightly dent of the size of a newborn nail in dimensions right on the right corner. It went to the dealership, aparently the first time they replace the sensor and the module and base on the work order they were both Inoperative, an hour ago after we picked up the vehicle start failing again, now this time the car magically appeared with the small dent and according to the dealership we have to take it to a body shop to get fix it.
I’m installing an after market steel rear bumper on my ‘23 4Runner that will block the waves of the sensors. Will disconnecting the sensors cause any other malfunction other than not having the alert work?
Life is Good!
The Bsm.of the 2022 Rav4 hybrid, dose it beeps at you when the signals is on, when there’s a car coming on the side. If it does, how to turn on the beep? Thank you my friend.
We are purchasing a 2016 tacoma trd sport and we are watching your videos to make sure it checks out. Your videos were very helpful and thank you. You recommended making sure the blind spot switch was turned on but the blind spot switch doesn't turn on the system. The dealer checked the wires and fuses and they said that is all they can do. I am concerned about this. Do you have any recommendations? The system doesnt turn on.
Hi! Honestly this one will need diagnosis but definitely negotiate the price or include a repair in the deal. If this truck is modified I’ve seen some remove the sensors in the back to install a different bumper
@@TheCarCareNut thank you for your reply. I found out there was minor to moderate damage to the front left side and rear of the truck on the carfax. The dealer said the previous owner stated he hit a deer. The truck also has bigger tires and it looks to be lifted. Can a damaged or missing sensor cause the system not to turn on at the button on the lower dash? Can the system be turned on from the touch screen?
That could be it. I would have the dealership at least make sure the sensors are there. Other than the button on the dash there’s no other place to turn them on
Any way to make it beep like the cross traffic alert on a 2021 Highlander hybrid? I'm so used to an audio alert on my other cars. I know there's no user option for that but wondering if the dealer can enable audio or a mod I can do. Thanks so much, just subscribed.
Hi! The Blind spot alert will beep if you turn your turn signal on only not when a car comes in the blind spot. I don’t know of a way from the dealership side to change that.
Hello there! I have a brand new toyota Corolla Cross hybrid and I having some issues with the left side BSM randomly not working. I dont have any error message on the dash. I haven't being able to find exactly under what conditions the malfunction appears. I live in Canada so the car in winter is always dirty no matter what but what bugs me is that is always the left side that stops working. I took the car to the dealer and they found nothing (as usual). Could you please help me with some advice? thanks
Good content. Had an advertisement sponsored by Nissan midway thru, a bit comical.
I've always that that the alert lights should be on your dash above the speedometer instead of on the side mirror so you can see it when it comes on.
Im in Romeoville Illinois, you work on the side?
Thanks alot ..How to calibrate the sensor after direct damage by collision ?
Hi! There’s a procedure to measure a specific point and put a reflector and use techstream
You are right don’t completely trust the BSM. My 16 Camry was repaired under warranty but hasn’t been trustful since . In cold weather the warning light can go on for no reason , so I just turn it off .
it needs an updates to the module software to get it morevstable
❤❤❤❤. Does this blink spot monitor eliminate the need of Turing your head to check blink spot incoming cars? 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Is there a way to putt on the mirror from outside on 2019 nissan altima?
Please
I let many people go when they slightly hit my bumper car in the past, but after this video and with my Rav4 hybrid, I don't let anybody go free when they hit my rear bumper.
The Car Nut ... Do you know if you can service the battery in the Camry you show.. assuming you still have the OME battery that was originally installed in the car ..... Mine is a 2020 Camry XLE 4 cyl. and they are the same. ... I like to add distilled water to keep the cells flooded to make it last .. I can`t figure out how to get the long cap off on top of the battery ... I am afraid if I pry it much it could break ? Thanks for any suggestions ...
Hi! As far as I know these batteries are not serviceable. They are a new style battery that showed up with Toyota called H6.
@@TheCarCareNut Thanks for your reply guy ! I figured you would know one way or the other .. I have looked all over and could not find any information .. I was afraid if I pried off the cap I might damage it .. I will leave it alone .. The Toyota dealership sells a heavy duty battery that is guaranteed for as long as you own the car .. I will go with that in a couple of years ... I never let a battery die on me if I can help it !!! Thanks again ..I enjoy your videos ..
I'm surprised Toyota chose the plastic bumpers to mount the BSM sensors, since after all these bumpers are meant to take bumps at some speed like 5 or 10 mph (at least they used to) and not have any damage requiring a trip to the body shop. This was something the Auto Insurance companies did in collaboration with Car manufacturers and the goal was to keep repair costs down and hence Insurance costs down. In other words, why not mount these higher up, say next to or inside the tail light modules? They would be far less likely to be damaged there, No? Pickup trucks have them mounted on the body and not in the bumper.
The only thing I can think why Toyota chose to do this was to achieve best reliability and lack of false signals. But I'm not sure. I higher position would be better at picking up other cars, I would think.
My preference is when say using a left turn signal the radio screen shows your blind spot area. Once the turn signal is restored the radio display restores to normal also. That system is less sensitive to alignment and simply shows YOU not the computer what you need to know.
Ok so? If my Prius V 2012 doesn’t have a place for the filter fan screen and can only be accessed through the seats? Do you recommend doing the $400 service that they charge to protect the life of the batteries? If it’s that important I guess that’s what you would tell me to do right?
Hi! I would jump into spending money without checking. I would use an inspection camera to look at the fan. If it’s clean I wouldn’t worry and just install a filter. If it’s dirty then I would recommend you clean it once only then install a filter that way you won’t have to clean the fan again just the filter which is simple and easy to get to
Hi, I got a 2018 toyota camry LE with 4 cyl, I wonder if the blind spot system can detect the motocycle?
Good call. Theoretically it should but i personally haven’t tested it.
Hi ..what are the causes for RCTA off alarm ?? I already switch it on !!
Swapped out my OEM mirrors on my 2018 Tundra with aftermarket tow mirrors, plug and play, and more I get message that my BSMs aren’t working and to see my dealer. Any ideas on how to fix this??
Hello again I have a question for you .I just purchased a thinkware dash cam it has a front camera and rear camera I go to get my work done at my dealership do you think they will want to install it for me for a price or should I go to an independent person to do the work .
It's a model U1000 thinkware dash cam.
Will it affect my system in my Toyota Corolla le year 2014 .Thank you for your time .
Hi! A dealership can install it but will charge too much and it doesn’t really require much skills to install it. I would have an independent install it. It won’t affect anything if installed correctly.
Do you think in the future generations, these sensors won't be so sensitive to such minor bumper bumps?
Hi, AMD. What if I switch this feature on and the screen tells me that the system isn't available while the orange lights switch on on the side mirrors? I took my Tacoma overseas, so I can't take it to the Toyota dealer. It's a TRD Sport 2021.
Quick question... The 2022 4Runner is supposed to have blind spot monitoring. Any idea where those sensors will be mounted? The reason I ask, is that I would like to put on a aftermarket steel bumper that will hold the spare tire and other gear. I'm afraid that the sensors will be in a spot that's underneath the new steel bumper, and won't work properly
Hi! Likely behind the rear bumpers
Do you know what network is used these days, is it deterministic, CanBus or a time triggered protocol TTP ? Just curious ?
Can bus
A+
Hi, Might as well throw this question out here. My BSM and RCTA instantly give off a light after turning them on, after replacing stolen BSM mirrors on a 18 Camry. Is it possible I botched the connectors?
Hi! They are both connected and work together. Best bet is to scan them for codes. Now the mirror that you replaced was it an exact match for year and model?
@@TheCarCareNut I purchased from dealer using VIN. I think dealer wanted 2k for some sort of calibration or replacement last year when I had them look. I am going to look at my wiring, I don’t think I connected some wires properly or tightly. Then I’ll scan the codes. Thanks for the response, I’ll get back to you on them.
When installing mirror cap will they block any sensors ?
Hi! A mirror cap will not block any sensors
Is it possible to install blind spot monitoring on the 2020 corolla hybrid ? The 2020 doesn’t come with blind spot monitoring standard and I want to install it .
It might be possible with aftermarket systems. Honestly I don’t have experience with aftermarket installs. Let see if someone has experience with them can chime in.
@@TheCarCareNut No aftermarket EVEN if it was available would come close to OEM .. It is tuned and tied in with the other systems ... All that is very complex. better to buy a car with it on it ..
I have 2022 avalon xse but bsm is not working the way I thought it would.. if im passing a car lot faster than the car next to me it doesnt light up.. is this normal? A lot faster meaning my speed is far more higher than the car next to me.. i already took my car in for a service but they told me nothing is wrong. My understanding is that if theres a car next to me or withing the range of the sensor it should detect and light should come on regardless of the speed im passing or be passed by.. please reply to my message, I feel that you are the only person to give me a straight answer and you are the only person ill trust with toyota issue.
Hi! That is normal. It needs to see that the car is actually in your blind spot. When you pass a car at a high rate of speed relative to the car you passed it was in your blind spot for such a short time that it doesn’t alert. Equally if you have another car passing you at a much higher speed the system will light up very early much earlier if the car was just slightly faster than your speed.
@@TheCarCareNut thank you so so so much for your reply.. I can now stop my argument with the dealer.. I hate to lose in an argument but no nothing left to argue after reading your reply.. Have a wonderful year and if you dont mind can I medsage you again if I run into another issues?
The BSM on our 2018 XSE Camry doesn't work as well as the BSM in our 2014 Lexus is350. There's a lot of times where the Camry BSM doesn't trigger, but the Lexus works every time.
Might be a calibration issue. Any accidents in the back?
@@TheCarCareNut no, the car was bought brand new.
The BSM only triggers when a vehicle is coming from behind (which is good) but not when passing a vehicle. In the Lexus the BSM will trigger as soon as I approach a vehicle from behind.
Does that make sense? It's kinda hard for me to explain.
It should trigger when you pass a car and it enters your blind spot. It should actually work exactly the same as your Lexus since it’s the exact same system down to the sensors. Have you brought it to the dealership attention?
@@TheCarCareNut that's what I figured, I plan on bringing it to their attention when I take it in for service.
Need help...my bsm not working...I buy a used Toyota CHR 2017 and door mirror don't have bsm sign... now I want to install a external bsm light but don't know the wiring... mirror connector had 10 wires 7 used for mirror movement 3 remaining... can't know how to connect with these 3 wires
🙋♀️ question: 2021 Sienna
Toyota bsm doesn’t have a warning sound, curious why?
Not only Toyota also other brands
Hi! It only sounds an alarm when there’s a car in your blind spot and you turn your turn signal to that direction.
@@TheCarCareNut yes, the warning lights on mirrors will flashing but no warning sound. It may different compared to us model I guess?
In a heavy downpour / thunderstorm, when I come to a stop and then proceed through the intersection, the BSM lights on the mirrors come on and then turn off once I pick up speed. 2017 Lexus RX 350. Why would this be happening? Is it because the rain is so heavy it thinks it’s an object?
When I bought my 2020 Camry XLE ,the salesman did not hardly go over any of that .. he just said it was all set ... my car fusses and tells me what I need to do and tries to keep me from changing lanes if i don`t signal ... it tries to keep me in the lane I am exiting .. LOL The sonar parking assist/rear cross traffic alert is good to let you know of oncoming traffic when you are backing up before you see it .
Can I change out my side mirrors on 2018 4runner for the Rav4s mirrors that have those little blind spot things stuck on it?? I heard they are the same side mirrors...and mine defrost...
Hi! There’s more to the blind spot system than the mirror.
@@TheCarCareNut it's the mirrors that don't have the blind spot monitor system but a little blindspot mirror stuck on the mirror. Those come on some Rav4 ones but not 4runners I think...
Ah got it. Honestly I haven’t tried it myself to see if they fit. You can buy a small aftermarket mirror that glues on the original one to show you a wider angle
@@TheCarCareNut that sounds cheaper too...I will try that...thanks
They should add it to the heads up display like Hyundai does, it’s awesome when in the HUD +SIDE MIRRORS.
Approx how many hours labor is the recalibration process?
So I ordered a toyota corolla exclusive sedan...since exlusive plus isn’t available in our market anymore...mine lacks this system and HUD. Can it be mounted at the Toyota dealership as an extra option? Market is in Europe, Romania. So I was wondering, since my car basically has all the system, it just lacks this option.
It does have the radar sensors on the sides.
Hi! Unfortunately with Toyota these systems cannot be added as an option at the dealership level
@@TheCarCareNut I see. Is it a big deal if I don’t have it? Since it has most security systems? We’ll see if it can be added on.
It’s not something essential to the car. They are optional features
Can you add the bsm system to a newer toyota as an after market accessory?
I’ve seen a few aftermarket systems don’t know how good they work and how reliable they are
@@TheCarCareNut so i couldn't get Toyota system installed after purchase. Thanks for the response.
No that is not an option that can be installed at the dealership.
@@TheCarCareNut thanks for the response 👍
Thanks in advance, and I have a BSM problem on my car (Toyota Corolla 2020 le) . It appears “Blind spot monitor unavailable” while I am driving and need to go to dealer to fix. They fix this very easily and sometime after it happens again while Driving. What could be the cause , can you please give some hint?
Hi! Any accidents in the back bumper area even the slightest one?
What models have blind spot monitors ?
I have a 2020 Camry Xse and normally park in the garage. When my car is parked in the sun and I start my car, the rcd and bsm monitor lights come on. Why does this happen?
I make these modules at work
Remember i told you i have a corolla xse 2020 that the remote control did not open and close the window and sunroof i went to the dealer and with ther scanner they unlock and it work but now i cant start the car with the remote control they told me they have to order something to make it work again what do you think let me know plz .
When you start your car. Does the radio screen say something about service mode?
No
Hi, I have RAv 4 Trail 2022,
Nice to drive , performe well as well.
As per my experience, blind spot indicator in mirror is 1) quite outside of mirror and toooo small. 2) It should be big and someware inside body of the mirror. ( Subaru dose it very well ) Toyota should notice that.
One more thing i noticed that , we face reflection of AC went border panel on driver side mirror.
Am not sure if anyone noticed that or not.
With the sensors built right behind the bumper, no wonder my insurance for the new Toyota Corolla came up when I replaced it with my 15 years old Highlander which doesn't have any of these. A little fender bender these days need to go through the insurance.
I HATE the auto start/stop on my 2021 Rav4... the default should be OFF, not ON which would eliminate me having to turn it off each time I drive the car. You would think Toyota would have a software modification to default it to OFF. Is there a fix or override for this?
Hi jerry. I totally understand your frustration as I feel the same way. However that auto start stop is part of the emission system of car and not something Toyota likes to do that’s why it defaults to on every time you restart the car.
@@TheCarCareNut Thanks. You do a great job explaining the new technology. Good job.
I have 2017 Tacoma trd sport. My blind spot monitor turns off and says unavailable when im driving the speed of 150 kilometers per hour. It happen 4 times. 3 of them happen when driving on the hwy in the rain and the last one happen on the hwy driving 150 kilometers per hour and dry pavement. It comes back to normal when im driving city driving but it takes awhile when it comes back. Does anybody knows why it does that it turns off line
My 2018 Toyota Prius has this BSM but i am getting a message on the screen that it is not functioning. What is wrong with my BSM?
Where is your shop??
Can anyone tell me if they have come across this issue with the bms. I changed over to chrome on my Tundra and ever since then my bms doesn't work. Toyota has calibrated the bms and they can't get it right. They detect something when there is no actual object on my sides. People have told me the issue is that the bms can't work since it is chrome now and not the fiberglass painted covers that it came with. Anyone have this issue?
Hi ..thanks alot for your detailed explination . Iwould like to ask about replacement of BSM radar sensor in my Rav4 hybrid xle 2020 that was damaged , by a used one and both of them are RV3 generation but the used one is 2019 model ..dose that works ?? And which numbers should be compatible on both sensors ..alot of numbers written on the sensors ?? So Are there difference between RV3 SENSORS betwedn 2019 snd 2020 ?? 💐
Hi! It’s not advisable to use sensors from different models, this is a safety component and it needs to be fixed right.
@@TheCarCareNut thanks alot for your fast replay ..logically you are obsolutly right about safty ..but technically speaking is there important differences between the two models of the same generation RV3??
Not much information on differences internally.
the blind spot warning light came on in my car and it actually cut power for a moment as I was pulling out onto a main road, I hate this trash. awesome video though.
When I cut mine on it lights up in the mirror and then says not available could this be a sensor
Hi! It’s possible you’ll want to check for trouble codes
I gotta 2012 Camry.......needs a dam blind spot monitor for the a pillar and mirror.
My car recently had an accident from the rear. After it was fixed, the master light turned on. It says "blind-spot monitoring unavailable, rear cross-traffic alert unavailable" It's a 2018 Toyota sienna. When I took off the back bumper and check around, their sensor boxes weren't cracked. I don't know if the metal bar is pushed in for the sensors holding or if the wires are ripped. The wires looked fine on it. I tied them up and the lights turned off. The next day after I drove on the highway, the light turned on again. I'm afraid if I go to the dealer and then scan it; they'll say it needs 6k USD in repairs. Anyone has any tips or ideas? I've seen a few videos of people recalibrating the sensors for 500 dollars but I don't think there's one near me. I live in the NJ and NY area. If you guys have any ideas or help reply to me.
Hi! The sensors will need calibrating and if the body is not fixed correctly it will need to go back to the body shop. If the car was fixed by the insurance this would be covered as well
@@TheCarCareNut the body shop refuses to take it back. I don’t have the best Insurance so I don’t think they’ll pay for it. I live in the NJ area. Do you know any shops who does it here ? I can’t find anything besides outside the state
Unfortunately I don’t know shops in NJ as I’m in Chicago. This one can get expensive. I would get a repair estimate from a Toyota dealership and call the insurance and put a fight with them. They’ll eventually budge
@@TheCarCareNut alright thanks
@@TheCarCareNut how much is it in Chicago ?
My car (Prius Prime) also has a "cross traffic" sensor, or as I call it, the "totally senseless eh hol dumb ask detector." And? You've just broken the code! 😂 The World has really changed.
