Toyota Troubleshooting (Automatic Lift Gate): How do I Re-Calibrate the Power Back Door in my SUV? 

This video was a life saver, you just relieved me of the headache my 2016 RAV4 was giving me. God bless you

This was the best, clear, correct explanation of how to fix my 2021 Toyota Venza rear door noise when closing. Everything you said, step by step was correct and it worked. No more noise. I am so glad that I did not use spray on the struts or make a trip to the dealer. I use the back door daily and I think the issue started when my company tried to close the door for me without using the automatic button! Thank you soooooo much! Good job.

My 2020 RAV4 TRD got stuck open for whatever reason, and I had to manually close it then do the open and close steps from this video, and it worked! Thank you so much!

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR POSTING THIS DETAILED VIDEO. I had been dealing with a rubbing/moaning/groaning hatch final closure on my '21 Venza and at least for today, it is now SILENT again.

Wonderful short video and to the point. Saved us a trip to the dealership! Thanks for posting.

Worked great on my new Highlander, but it really is heavy lifting! thanks 😊

Even though my Rav-4 is a 2015 model, the instructions helped my fix the problem. Thank you so much for the video!!!

I just bought the 2024 Sequoia Capstone, and the lift gate would just beep twice at me when I pressed the remote. The on-screen setup was a bit different but when I finally found the PBD settings, it was already turned off. Turning it on fixed the problem. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!

This was about as easy as it gets. I tried so many other methods and was about to take it to the dealer. Thanks for the help.

Saved me a trip to the dealership- thank you

It works for my Lexus RX 350 2020. Thank you so much

Thank you very much for the well done video. My Highlander's lift gate now works properly.

Works like a charm! I just reset my lift gate! So happy!

Worked perfect for 2016 Rav4. Been messes up for a while a d quit completely a couple of days ago. Thank you for posting this!

I fixed the problem of my Rav4 se hybrid 2018. Thank you Blessings 🙏🏼❤️☘️💐

awsome!!!! Worked great on 2018 Rav4 XLE

Thank you, this worked for me.

Thanks, This procedure resolved the issue on my 2017 Rav4. Too easy!! My issue was the gate would stop closing after about 2 inches. I would press the button again and it would open again. then I f press the button again it would close properly

Yours was the 3rd video I viewed and the one that worked! 2019 rav4. Ty for sharing

Fixed my Rav4 prime 2022... thanks

Saved us another trip to the dealer shop😮‍💨

got my 2021 highlander opening again, thanks.

Worked like a charm for my Toyota RAV4. Thank you!

You really helped me!!! I have a 2016 Rav4 XLE that I could not get the tailgate open at Costco!

Wonderful, I expected to have to see the dealer and get a part/ module.

My 2021 rav4 was beeping and not opening. This worked, thank you!

We have a 2021 Highlander Platinum and the lift gate would get stuck during the opening process. I tried to change the settings from 1 -5, but still would not open completely in one step. We even had the dealer look at it during an oil change but they said it was working normally when they tried it… so frustrating because when we got home it was back to having issues. I tried this process and when I turned the PBD on and tried to open it opened about 7/8 of way and then beeped. I press the button to close and it closed all of the way. I tried to open one more time and it opened/closed all of the way in one shot. I then did these steps once more and when I opened it back up it worked PERFECTLY! Cycled it for wife 5 times in a row and worked… We were already ready to take the vehicle to the dealer.

Thank you!! You are simply the best .

Thanks it helped us just in time

As a single mom, this is a nightmare. Keeps happening to me. It's so hard to closed and open the trunk. I had a mini van, Toyota, never had this issue. It's so frustrating. This should be fixed in all cars that are experienced this type of issue.

It helped, but my rear door is only opening about 75% of the way. Can’t get it to go all the way. I’ve tried all of these steps twice.

Thanks for the clarification. My car is the same car and suddenly the door only opens in half

Worked perfectly! Thanks so much!!

Thank you! So far so good!

Thank you fixed my rx 350 today

Thank you, works on my 2017 Lexus RX350

Super helpful. Thank you!!

Thank you

Tx u saved a vacation able to close the door

I have a rav4 xle 2021 my back door self opening was terrible experience to me when i start the engine it will open automatically ..when i lock with the fob key it will open again ..im 3 meters away to the parking lot 😢 when i came back its already open .. I hope this video will help me

This is great thank you for all involved in showing us this .

Very nice, however it would be helpful to know what years this is accurate for, as it does not work on a 2017 Sienna XLE AWD

Let me preface, I love Toyotas. I am 100% a Toyota guy. But the powerlift gate design on this generation of Rav4 is pathetic. My mom had a 2003 Volvo XC30 with power open/close. Worked perfectly. 10 years later, Toyota has the worst design I've ever dealt with.

The rear door will not manually open. No matter how hard I pull it does not pop open. I also could not open it recently when the battery was dead and I've been searching for a manual way to release the door open. Mine is a 2021 hybrid Platinum Highlander.

My Toyto cc gxl hybrid 2023 don’t have push button on remote neither indide the car sick and tired everytime I have to manually open it all time carrying grocery in both hands bit annoying

I have a 2019 Rav4 and this worked to open it, but when I went to close it, it did the double beep thing over and over and would not close, so I had to close it manually. Any pointers?

Mine randomly stop closing and just beeping like something is in the way but there's nothing in my trunk. We've tried resetting it twice, kinda freaking out because we're supposed to go on a week long vacation tomorrow morning

Thank you very much.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!

FANTASTIC!!!!!! Thank you

You save my day.tnx

Is there a way to reset the 2015 Highlander? Mine is alarming "Glass door open" but the glass door is not open.

Thank you so much

Be sure to check the button in glove compartment...if you change battery you MAY need to reset the button.

Hi. Does this work on Lexus RX PBD as well ?? Has anyone tried ??

Thanks. Fingers crossed

Search Toyota troubleshooting (Automatic lift gate) How do I recalibrate the power back door in my SUV Video posted by Belleville Toyota

Will you please explain how the object sensor work. I am talking about 84260-0E040. From the technical point of view!

how do you do this for a 2015 ..that doesn't have the dash?

2019 hybrid rav4 xle, it has no pbd option although I have one, I tried system it just said no messages, so I Tried the bsm option, dont think thats gonna get it. Any new ideas from the dealership????

Thank you thank you!!!!

Hello! I have Toyota Venza 2021. Everything was good, but suddenly my PBD kick sensor stopped working(. I've recalibrated it, like you sad on this video, but it did not help... kick sensor still not working (((. And it is "on" menu...

I only did half of it. Since apparently some JA had just gone in and turned it off in this rental…….

How about those older models? Mine is 2009 and it won't close. Is there another way calibrate mine? Thanks

I have a 2023 Highlander XSE and when the lift gate tries to close automatically, the latch tries to close it all the way but it disengages instead and beeps and stays open. I have to manually push it in so the latch can fully engage the close position. Thoughts?

The real issue as told by The Car Nut Guy, is for some stupid reason, (bean counters) Toyota changed from a cheap, simple, easily accessible single motor drive system to these ridiculous power drive shocks.

Tailgate will not go down after resetting it. Any additional advice??

Mine beeps but it won't open. Is there a way to open it manually

Is this applicable to a 2014 XLE?

I didn't work on my 2020 Rav4 xle 😢

What if it still doesn't open?

How do you open the hatch?

Thank you

Thank you
