My wife has a 2018 RX350 that had a parking sensor issue. Took it into the dealer and one of the front sensors tried to beautify itself by head butting a rock. It needs replaced and dealer won’t warranty it. Quoted $750 to fix.

Researching shows that it’s not hard of a fix, I just do not know which part to order, and where from (I’m new to the Lexus world). We need the inside passenger side sensor (black, next to license plate). Any suggestions? Thanks.

 

I don't think it's the sensor per se that is expensive, but the whole procedure of R&R and recalibration. That said any competent shop could make the change

 

that’s my understanding as well. In my research online, the part is anywhere from $50 - $150 give or take a few bucks. There is a good post on this very site detailing how easy it is to change, and I’m fully capable of doing it, I just don’t know the exact part to order. All the ones I see online are for sensor no1, sensor no2, etc...

 

I don't think it's only a question of swapping sensors, the new sensor must be recognised by the computer and for that you need the computer with Lexus/Toyota software. Now you could try a Toyota dealer and see how much cheaper they are.

 

Yea i would try getting quotes from 1 or 2 toyota dealers.

 

Hi.

I disabled the park assist because 30 seconds from starting the engine, it starts beeping and shows on the screen that the sensors need cleaning. It happened to me often during winter if snow would accumulate on them, but never on a on a spring sunny day.

I saw a couple of videos on how to change them, but they never give the part number.
And in the videos they mention that they are way cheaper on eBay or Amazon, I would like to shop to validate that. I don't want to go and remove one to have to put it back right away just to get the number.

Does anyone have a exploded schematic of the front grill with the number of each part? It would be greatly appreciated. I've not been lucky to find that on Google.

Thanks in advance!
