Hello... a simple question to all 2012 Aurion Prodigy, Presara & ZR6 owners...

For the front & rear sensors of the car, how are they controlled? ie. are the rear sensors activated when the car is on reverse? there is an on/off switch inside the car, do they turn all sensors off and on or are there separate on/off switches for the front & back?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks!! Asking as I wanted to put front sensors on my Atara SL but was told I can't as there's no space to put an on/off switch for it. The Atara SL comes with rear sensors as standard but there's an on/off switch for it.

the front does have an on off button ,but the back is auto .

If thats the case then my back sensors aren't working.

I am sure the on/off button is for both front & rear sensors.

Yeah I thought the same..

Hmmm... if the on/off button is for both sensors, how would you differentiate the beeps of the front and back sensors?

Don't know why Toyota service say they can't install the front sensors on the Camry then?!?

With the on/off switch, is it ok to just leave it on all the time rather than swtich it on every time you park or should they be switched off during normal driving?

Just leave it on all the time, it only goes off if you get real close to something front or back anyway. As far as telling the difference front to back the aurion has a screen on the dash which changes to show which sensors are going off and how close each one is. I never noticed this at first!! That's gonna be your issue with the camry, getting a screen. The sensors sound the same front to back.

Sorry just to clarify, I have a 2009 model. Just noticed your question was to 2012 models specifically but I can't imagine the setup to be different.

Thanks for all the replies. Make sense now as to why the dealer said it can't be done on the Camry unless they have another button put in to turn it on/off... since the existing one only controls the rear.

Just did a quick test on my Camry and the rear sensor has an on/off switch but even in on position, the rear sensor is only activated when on reverse - which makes sense but why the on/off switch I wonder?.

Having it on while reverse parking annoys some people? I have mine on all the time just out of habit but going through a drive through I'll turn it off since you generally have to get to close to walls etc and it's freakin annoying.

Anyway horses for courses.

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Generally, yes. In the 60s, and earlier, there were cars with positive grounds, so I'm always a bit hesitant to say the negative wire. It is always the one that bolts to the body. Herb

      2011 Land Cruiser 1VD-FTV Engine Won't Start After Overhaul

      Hi everyone, I have a 2011 Land Cruiser VDJ200 with a 1VD-FTV engine. I recently had the engine fully overhauled due to a blown head gasket. However, after the overhaul, the engine is not starting. It only cranks but doesn't fire. I've checked the following DTC codes: Internal memory EEPROM error Low rail pressure The actual rail pressure data shows: 240 bar during cranking 61 bar when ignition is off Based on these findings, I suspect the following potential causes: =Defective Diesel High-Pressure Pump =Leaking Piezoelectric Injectors =Diesel Fuel Bypassing to the DPF Circuit =Faulty Injector Drivers I'm hoping for some expert advice to help diagnose and resolve this problem I'm seeking expert advice on how to troubleshoot and resolve this issue. Any suggestions or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Disconnecting batteries, ALWAYS disconnect the ground wire first. Doing this will also disconnect power, in general. Herb

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Hey guys, I’m wanting to disconnect my current winch, lightbar and UHF as I have new plans. I’ve installed a winch previously on another car so I get it’s a case of following the cables and disconnecting from the battery, etc but but safety wise, should I start by disconnecting the battery so the cables aren’t live orrrr? And if so how do it go this haha?

      Snapping wheel and axle studs

      Put a set of standard wheels on it and your problem will disappear. It is critical that the hole in the wheel centre is a snug fit on the axle boss (without wheel nuts fitted). If your wheels are sloppy on the axle boss this allows excess force on your wheel studs and they will break, as yours are doing. If you are unsure of what to do, go to a reputable tyre shop and get assistance.

      2zz idle / roughness when accelerating past 3k

      Hey everyone was hoping someone might be able to point me in the right direction with this issue I've been facing for a while now. My Celica's idle will drop down to almost 200rpm when stationery after hitting operating temperature. Pretty much feels like it's about to stall out but never actually does. When taking off from a set of lights it almost feels like it hesitates or is down on power and then all of a sudden it lurches forward and gets a boost in power again. Then again around 1,500-3,000rpm it feels down on power and in what I can only describe in the engine feeling scratchy. Past 3,000 rpm it gets a little boost in power again but still definitely feels down on power compared to what it used to be and still has that roughness. Note lift is also not working at the moment but I have changed the lift bolts, planning on cleaning the VVT and VVTL-i OCV's New engine mounts have been installed I changed the MAF sensor about 4 years ago albeit not OEM. After doing some research my main ideas now would be a New MAF this time OEM, TPS, IACV or Coil Packs (Changed plugs 50,000km ago) Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!! :)
