My parking assist warning system has suddenly stopped working. (2007 LS460) I'm thinking I may have disabled it while pushing some other buttons or doing something else. I changed the distance to farthest but that didnt help. It was working perfectly last week. I did disable the auto down tilt on the steering wheel. Could this have also disable the parking assist? Any ideas greatly appreciated.

IS the P-button on the left of the steering wheel on (green)? If not, push it to turn green

The button was indeed off. I turned it on and that solved the problem! Thanks hfahmy! Its amazing what I dont know about this car. lol

Funny...same thing happened to me this week. I was like, WTH, my park sensors aren't working! Looked for it in settings and setup and couldn't find anything. Then thought, maybe there's a dumb button, pushed it and voila...works again. Just totally forgot it was there.

How did you do this?

on my '08 techstream is required to disable auto retract of steering wheel column, I Think on 09 or newer it is in the vehicle settings menu accessible by the main touchscreen.

To disable tilt, I used Techstream I got off of E-Bay. Cost about $40.00 USD

A simple fix. The 460 is complex but a simple touch of a button can make a difference. Lexus - the pursuit of perfection.

Incredible. Thank you hfahmy!!!

Wife and I just got back from a vacation in Cuba, and while we were gone, we left it with a valet parking service off-airport. When we came back, the parking sensors did not work and we had no idea why. While I'm work right now, I am absolutely sure that they saw the "P", thought it was the parking brake, and pressed it, not realizing that they disabled the park assist feature completely.

And here I was ready to bring it into the dealership and girding myself for thousands in repair costs to diagnose an electrical snafu.

This forum really is great.
