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

My front plate



My rear plate

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.

I had the same problem for a week or so, so I decided to visually check the sensors. Sure enough, had an insect that was splat, dead center on one of the sensors. Cleaned it off with glass cleaner and a microfiber cloth, and I was good as new. Hope this helps.
