Been needing this! I am a driving instructor and we do practical demonstrations of the impact of speed on stopping distance where we hit a dummy, but the PCS wouldn't allow us to hit the dummy! Cheers
thank you so much! this PCS has almost gotten me into accidents more than it is helped prevent them, and the regular dashboard menu is a pain to get through
There are some times I will have to use my vehicle as a self-defense device and need a quick easy way to shut off the automatic braking function so I can get out of the danger zone ASAP, this video is a lifesaver, hopefully, I never need to use that button, but you never know, and it is better to know this earlier before you indeed need to use it and become panic, thanks Steve!
Bingo! This is exactly why I made this video
Glad to know how to turn this off. I have a Corolla. This feature caused my brother to wreck his Prius when it auto braked on black ice on Christmas Eve last week.
I'm really glad to find this video. That auto stop is dreadful. I live in a small town and while driving around, the car is CONSTANTLY stopping/ If I had now about this feature, I would not have purchased the car. I test drive it on a highway where the dealer ship us located. Never been so irritated by a car before.
In relation to my earlier comment about the Pre Collision System, PCS, being very intrusive and kicking in, after driving the Grand Highlander for the last 2 weeks I realized that what was causing the intrusive braking was in fact the PDA, Pro Active Driving Assist. And fortunately that can be turned off and it does not come on by default on a re-start. So I have now set the PCS to it's lowest level, turned off the PDA and my Grand Highlander is the perfect driving machine!! The reason that I initially blamed the PCS is that the PDA is something I had never come across before and the Toyota literature does not explain that the PDA can activate your brakes when you are a good 100 feet away from the vehicle in front of you. Anyway, all's well that ends well!!
Glad that got figured out. The PDA is a bit intrusive and it doesn’t come on from the factory for that reason
I just bought a 2018 Sienna, EXL and honestly, the 'safety features', in my opinion, are a threat to safe driving. I would like to see Toyota offer a software option with NONE of these features, including a way to physically electronically disconnect any way for the system to brake, turn or accellerate the vehicle on it's own. That override, to me, is insanity. Just pushng 'off' settings does not give me piece of mind as all computers can fail or be hacked. I'd like the systems removed - otherwise, I love the vehicle. Thank you for the tip on the PCS. We live in weird and dangerous times. I want my wheels in my control, not a programmers.
Thank you so much, Prius kept seeing my bike rack and stopping+
Thank you so much! I want this thing off. I don't want to go through road construction or dirt road and have to stop to turn it off. I hate going through the menus each time I use my car. I want to be in full control of my car and I don't understand why Toyota thinks it should interfere with my driving and then impose any risk to me if there is a collision. We should have the option to disable these things indefinitely. Same thing with the camera system to detect signs: I put a sticky on my laptop's camera and I have duct tape on my Toyota. I value my and others' privacy.
Auto-braking in reverse is triggered all the time when I have a bike on a rack. It's VERY dangerous! And I hate having my car jerk me around. However, disabling PCS doesn't work well on my '24 Highlander. I turned off PKSB and this is working so far, AND it doesn't reset to default when the car power is cycled off and on.
Steve came through, thank you
I have a 2024 Prius Prime. The PCS is triggered by road curvature, not just the car in front of you. It’s also triggered by cars and especially trucks in adjacent lanes. It drops the speed down more than 10mph below the speed limit for road curvature only! And that’s on a. Major CA freeway - interstate 5. This is a major unsafe system that I must fight every time I go through curves like through Shasta. Disable the PCS and you lose speed control! Reducing sensitivity helps, but only slightly. Press the accelerator slightly and the car surges. Brake, surge, brake, surge and that with no other traffic. This is a major hazard that needs to be corrected before there’s a class action suit. Steve - that’s why your site is getting so much attention.
What you’re describing is not PCS. It is proactive driver assist and it is very intrusive. It can allay be turned off. In fact, the car is shipped with it off and it requires an effort in a menu to turn it on. Dive into the menu and find “PDA” and turn it off. Leave the rest on and drive as normal.
@@TrainerSteveClifford Ours DID come to us with the PDA turned on, unless this was the dealer's doing. And I agree with Susan that this is a major hazard. We had similar experiences.
Thanks for this video. Just got a new Grand Highlander and the PCS braking is very intrusive even in it's most benign setting so much so that you can do one pedal driving in the city and it engages without any prior warning, audible or on the instrument cluster. Toyota should tone it down, I go through the painful process of disabling it every time I start up.
If it’s kicking in often, you really should evaluate how you’re driving quite honestly. Here’s another video on this subject: ruclips.net/video/mXV7WtqEB4c/видео.htmlsi=qFoFDmKRYNmjphGE
I drove a GMC Yukon for the last 9 years and it's pre collision system was a high pitched audible warning with a piercing red light that shone directly into the driver's eyes from the instrument cluster. That warning came in when it was clear that there would be a collision and I never felt the need to turn it off, because it warned me when it was really necessary. In contrast the Toyota system cuts in very early and it brakes the vehicle without any other prior warning and can startle people. I really think that the calibration should be made less aggressive.@@TrainerSteveClifford
Not necessarily. It's a crap system for people who can't drive. It made me have a crash not long ago. Was doing an emergency stop in the rain and was easily going to stop when my car decided to slam on the breaks. Now I slid right into the guy in front. I should be able to charge Toyota for the damage.
Without that crappy system it would of been fine.@@TrainerSteveClifford
What wires do I have to cut or jumper to disable the pre collision system in a Toyota? How would a law enforcement vehicle be able to PIT maneuver someone with a pre collision system?
I wouldn't recommend it but if you covered that radar sensor on the front of your car, I'm pretty sure that would do it.
Thank you. I just got a new windshield and can’t get it recalibrated until Tuesday. The see dealer message is annoying!
Is it important or can we just drive with that light on i cant be going through this?
Is there a way to bypass the start up "Navigation Reimagined "screen .If you plan on using waze instead
Is there a way to turn Pre-collision off so that it doesn't turn itself back on?
i’m looking for an answer to this too, i just bought one and do not like having it brake for me all the time lol
If you turn off the collision does it turn off the traction control also. Can you just turn off the collision?
You can do that in the settings menu in the instrument cluster. The hard button first turns off traction control and then pre collision of you continue to hold it.
Steve, does this work with the 2024 Prius XLE? I'm getting one soon. I turned this off in my 2017 Prius II, I would come up to a certain bridge overpass on my way to work, and the goofy thing would flash and beep! And this was early in the morning with literally no surrounding traffic!
@@richritter this does work on the 24 but you might not need to. The system is a lot more accurate than it was so hopefully you won’t need this trick
I have a 24 TRD off-road premium 4 runner & when I have trac control off & pre collision off, I can't get cruise control to work, is that normal?? Or do I just not know the trick? As soon as I turn trac control back on then I can get cruise to work again.
@@SteveCallsen the radar cruise control relies on the radar sensor that toy just turned off. You can use conventional cruise by holding down the cruise button for three seconds
It doesn't turn off PCS on my 2024 Camry.
Good video. How can you tell if your older car has it or not?
Try it. Press and hold the trac off button and see which lights come on the screen
Thanks for this, but it didn't work on my 2004 Sienna. I was stopped and in park in my driveway, held the traction control up to 10 seconds, tried multiple times. The traction control turned off, but not the PCS. Maybe disconnecting a sensor will get me by.
I just got the car yesterday. I had two episodes of phantom braking on my way home with it. Fortunately there were no other vehicles around me. Now I'm scared to drive it! First time it happened I was chugging along with cruise control at 45 MPG and winding road. After that time, I turned off the cruise and continued to drive. It happened again about 15 minutes later, this time on a straight stretch of road. Again nobody around me (front or back) and no dear, pedestrians or other reasons I could see that would have caused it. I'm assuming some bad sensor somewhere, the front bumper and windshield sensor are clean. I had driven it about 2 hours without issue before these events. These events happened at night, not sure if any of the sensors involved behave differently at night.
A 2004? I’m not sure what to make of this. The PCS didn’t come on the Sienna until 2018 (might have been 17 or 19… can’t recall off the top of my head).
@@TrainerSteveClifford I was wondering about this too and was surprised when it happened. I'm still trying to figure out what systems it has that it might have been. But good to know it wasn't available back then, thanks. Sadly it did not come with an owners manual.
I hate it...noisy when going in and out of garage; screams during car wash; hard brakes when backing out and scares the crap out of me. Hate it. Want to turn the sound and the hard braking.
You’re experiencing the parking assist, not the pre collision. Here’s that video ruclips.net/video/KVfRCOK8VAs/видео.htmlsi=uiujR2eIb1hApA_B
My sister just called me yesterday afternoon freaking out on how her Toyota CHR Pre-collision sensor braked/broke in a way that almost caused her to get rear ended. Is it worth turning PCS off every time you get in the vehicle or would you recommend getting a newer, "up-to-date", not discontinued vehicle lol? Thanks in advance!
*Disclaimer* She's had this ongoing issue since she got the vehicle which was back in 2021.
@@ArthurDoesThings8960 get the car looked at, but honestly, if the PCS keeps engaging, she’s probably rubbing up pretty hard on the car in front of her. That system, even in the older models is very good at detecting possible collisions. She can turn down the sensitivity in the menu and I made a video on that. I’ll link to that shortly

Thanks for videos
I installed new front bumper to my prius 2018 also installed new radar sensor
Now i got pre collision malfunction warnings light in my car ,does replacemnt radar sensor needs recoding
Please help
Unfortunately, I’m not a technician and that is what you need. See your dealer
I swim thru traffic a lot in my old Impala, never an issue. Got my Lexus, and my car has a heart attack as I swerve thru traffic - more often than not auto brakes for me. Ironically, that causes potential danger to people driving behind me who think I just brake checked them. Thanks for this help, man. Such a annoying feature.
Maybe stop driving like a jackass then? The car is telling you that if the car in front was to break you would be dead. Ignorance is not always bliss.
i feel like it brake checks people. and i hate that so much.
Useful when you go to a carwash
I bought a 2024 4Runner two weeks ago, and I got into a left turning lane and wanted to be sure I hit the sensor for the traffic light so it would know another car was in the lane.... and while doing so there was a car in front of me fully stopped. So , I was rushing into the lane. Now, I know I would have had no problem stopping in time, but the car ON IT'S OWN locked up the brakes. It was very surprising, and if there was a car behind me it would have hit the back of my car. So, in my view, this brake assist is very dangerous.
Does this work on a 4runner?
@@danielbolton6518 - yes. It is habit now. When I start my 4Runner, I shut off the brake assist.
I like this feature. Why you anyone want to disable it?
Yes, I had the same question. Why turn off PCS ?
@@jseidl21same here. Safety sense was put in place for a reason
Probably for a car wash.
@@patricktenn7996 went thru car wash several times
No issues .
That’s been the way to disable stability and traction control for many many years. Basically all electronic nannies off. Though on Toyotas they still aren’t really totally off.
This system continously gives steering inputs on grooved pavement. I really don't like it.

Of course, I have a 2018 Camry & LDA & Collision Lights on like Christmas Lights and then off a month and on again - but I push the Traction Control and does not make annoying lights to deactivate. Must be 6th grade Design Engineers at Toyota - hot module and get Christmas Lights the checking internet, I see there are sensors behind the Toyota Logo Circle on Front Bumper - are you kidding me? As sick as other sensors on Bumpers front and back....what happened to Design Engineers? The Stupid Gene. I call on Insurance Companies to contact car manufacturers about this nonsense...we are still in recovery hiding parts to make simple hose and parts tasks harder for no reason - and lack of space by engines. Wake up America - notify car companies - but they now do not even allow emails because that is to easy to contact with complaints.
