Problem with Parking Assist Sensor

Recommended Posts

Need advice. (I'm new, sorry if I'm not posting this in the right place)

I own a 2005 Toyota Sienna XLE Limited with parking assist sensors which worked fine until the day after someone bumped my rear end (while I was parked) and one of the sensors has a small dent and scratch on the flat surface. Now I get the constant beeping which the manual identifies as a problem with one of the sensors.

My dilemma: I can get a brand new sensor for $130 from my autobody guy, but I'm not sure if replacing the sensor will fix the problem. My Toyota dealer wants to charge me $130 just to look at it.

Question: Is there a software program on the Sienna that needs to be reset when the sensor is bumped? Would clearing this program reset the sensor and negate the need for a new sensor? Is there a sure way to test whether the sensor is damaged and needs to be replaced without having to purchase a new sensor and without having to pay my local Toyota dealer $130 just to tell me I need a new sensor and an additional $130 to replace it?

Any help would be most appreciated.
