Default Front passenger side parking sensor haywire?

Has anyone experienced this? Started yesterday, when I come to a stop, the right front parking sensor keeps lighting up. I know that I made changes through the Carista app but that's a while back and I don't think it has anything to do with it.
Thanks for watching and your input is appreciated.

I loved how you signaled while driving 1 handed and recording simultaneously, 99% of Lexus owners I see always signal.
The obnoxious and rudest are the BWM drivers, too busy smoking or on their phone and cutting people off.
Don't take it from me, just observe.

As far as your issue is concerned, I hope someone chimes in as I do not want to provide you incorrect information.
Just through I'd give you a praise

Oh haha! Thanks! I always signal no matter what
One thing I forgot to add, when I had the Xpel done. The guy didn't cut out holes for the sensors. But that's also a while back and this just started yesterday.

you said you used the carista app. did you have the parking sensors always active in drive setting turned on?

have you checked the sensor to see if it is clean.. bug guts can trip the sensor.

Never had this issue but will have to check to see if they cut holes for the sensors when they did my Xpel.

Possible the sensor is bad/malfunctioning?

I had the same problem on my driver side front a few weeks ago. It happen after I sprayed the sensor with a strong jet of water while washing (had some polish residue around the sensor). It happen constantly for one whole day when the car at traffic light and at drive gear. At the end I tapped the sensor with my finger a couple of time and the problem fail to appear. I reported the problem to my service manager and they will check on my next service.

I re-checked and the only options were having the fronts ON either in Neutral or Reverse. None in Drive. Wouldn't they be always on when in Drive anyway?

Thanks, I'll give it a tap next time it happens.
