I had this problem and apparently is was due to my front registration plate. I had the european ones on, but had to change out the front one with the US size.

Never thought "that" would be the culprit! LOL

it randomly goes off to the red bar here and there... does anyone know what the problem and fix is? note that i always drive with the parking sensors on.. is that what is messing it up ?

Have the same issue. After washing car when dry banging the front left center square one. It would then work. Now i replaced the sensor with a genuine Toyota part.
Sensor now doesn`t work at all . Red line and beeping. Now i have parking assist shut off. Any idea`s?

I had the issue with my passenger-side corner sensor. The sensor must have gotten hit by a rock or something because it had a little dent right in the middle. The "fix" was a small piece of clear packing tape to smooth over the surface. Hasn't had any problems since.
