Did you check the sensitivity setting? Also, if you click the button several times on the steering wheel, it should toggle between lane keep assist, steering assist, or both. Make sure both are active. Also, it doesn’t kick in below 32 mph. When it’s active, the two lane symbols will be filled in.

 

Yes I went through toggle it off it and then back on itwas on but sensitivity was turned down one so I made it more sensitive to the highest sensitivity that it has still not doing it

 

How fast are you driving? Is your son driving above 32 mph?

 

Yes... he is a teenager I think he hits 32 in the driveway!!! I tested it on side roads at 45 and on the highway and neither did anything...

 

You tested it by attempting to cross a lane without using your turn signal at speed? If that’s the case and it didn’t turn on then I’m afraid I don’t know what’s going on. Maybe clean off the windshield area in front of the camera in case it doesn’t have a clear view?

Also, turning it on in the menu might not activate the system. You need to press the button on the steering wheel and see the symbol in the dash.

Can you take a pic of your dash when your car is on?

 

Yeah I've tried that I don't get what's going on. I think I'm gonna disconnect the battery let it sit for 5-10 minutes and then plug it back in and see if that resets it it

 

Thank you so much for your input... after disconnecting the battery for 5 -10 minutes it now all works again!!! I appreciate your time...

 

Did this solve your problem long term or was it only a temporary fix? I ask, because my van is having the same issue.

 

Glad you got it resolved!

 

If you are training a new driver I strongly suggest turning the steering assist OFF.
This is NOT a system you want a new driver to depend on in ANY way.
If the lane marking lines are not detectable by the software you will have NO steering assist and if the driver is depending/expecting/waiting for it things might not end well.
The LDA & SA was the 1st (and only) system I turned OFF in our 2018 LE.

And even worse, in the event of a construction zone or where lane marking have not been properly removed or overpainted, it can generate some unexpected pull on the wheel that may confuse an inexperienced driver.
I've not had mine yank the wheel out of my hands, but I've had a few "why did it do that?" moments.

 

In that case, you should turn off blind side monitoring and the sonar systems as well. That would make sure the driver learns to turn their head to look before doing anything.

 

When looking at the new 2018 Camrys and test driving them, we quickly decided BSM was a must have option for us since the visibility out of the rear 180 degrees of the new 2018 Camry was much less than the 1994 Camry we had driven for 24 years. And we love RCTA & PD especially when backing out of our garage and in crowded store parking lots when SUVs park on both sides of our car & we are backing out of our slot. The back up camera is a great aid to avoid backing into poles/obstacles/cars. I still find myself turning my head and looking/checking (trust but verify) when changing lanes but really like the BSM system. I look 1st at the side mirror for the BSM light and if I don't see the BSM light I then turn my head and check before I make the move to the other lane. Don't have to turn my head if BSM light is on, just stay in my lane & try again later when BSM light is off.

 

I have and love all of those features, including LTA with SA. But for the purposes of training hood habits, maybe turning all of them off for now is a good idea.

 

I am very sensitive about any automation that controls braking and/or steering.
In 1994 I did NOT want anti-lock brakes and told dealer anti-lock brakes was a deal breaker for us. It was an option in 1994 and dealer found a Camry (made in Japan) at another dealer that did not have anti-lock brakes but was the color we wanted (beige!) & had every thing else we wanted (V6 XLE). Had to take anti-lock brakes & give up the beige color on the 2018 LE.

why were you against it? You rather skid into the back of another car?

 

Early ABS systems were not the greatest.
The system in my '93 Blazer easily could have caused an accident... Hit the pedal and it went to the floor, quick release and reapplication and it worked fine.
It wasn't the master cylinder... HEAVY pressure on the pedal and it didn't move an inch... it was the ABS system.
Ultimately, that Blazer was hit from behind (and totaled) by a C3500, and the driver explained the same thing... he saw me and the lady in front of me stopped, he hit the pedal, and it went to the floor.

Tests on racing circuits with professional drivers showed little improvement in stopping times, but "normal" drivers did see an improvement.
The takeaway was that an experienced driver could compensate for slippage as well as the computer.

In some cases, it was quite the opposite. I experienced it a few times on my '03 Tundra on mountain roads. When pulling to the shoulder while braking, the ABS would trigger as the passenger side moved into the gravel while the other wheels were still on pavement. No problem, just alarming when the pedal vibrated and the system made noise pulsing the brakes.
What DID cause problems was people would be driving on an icy or snow-covered road and brake to turn into their driveway, only to take out their mailbox.

I don't know how much better today's systems are in these respects. Reliability is certainly better than it was in 1993.

 

 

No! Leave em on!

And teach them that every time it beeps, they fail your road test. So they learn to their utmost that these systems if activated is a symbol of shame.

beep
SHAME!
SHAME!

Treat it as the most embarassing thing there is! Have it loud and obnoxious!

For ABS too. ABS us better than manual pulsing brake to maintain control in first place, but a responsible driver should never be in a situation where ABS activates in first place outside of abnormal conditions such as say sand or oil on road in a spot. Emergency braking? Following too close or not paying attention. Wet or icy conditions? Not driving for road conditions. People relying on these make the safety features become a safety hazards as they raise confidence limits, and as such, reduce safety.

As for above early 90s gms. There was actually a defect with GMs system on full size trucks because it used a car system which would result at times in GM fully releasing brakes.

 

Toyota's have ABS with EBD (Emergency Brake Force Distribution) which shortens the distance over just ABS.

Of course with any ABS system; braking distances always increase over those that don't have it but with EBD; those distances are shortened when you slam on the brakes!
