    Check the link above on how to fix the likely root cause: corroded sensor. Cost: labor plus a hardware store spring.

    Just open the hood and near each headlight is a manual screw adjustment. I did that for mine as I never have heavy loads in the rear so I didn't bother fixing it since my sensor corroded and I'm also missing another part.

    Thanks for the tip. I'll print it out and see my local garage.

    Do you know where you got it around that price? I cant find it anywhere besides the Toyota dealers.

    I just tried the fix with a pen spring to replace the one corroded one that was in the sensor. We'll see if it works!
    Excellent how-to in that pdf file; thanks to whoever came up with it!
