My 3.0 Diesel 2017 model Toyota Revo is displaying "Accelerator and Brake Pedals Depressed Simultaneously" when I press the accelerator. This problem has never occurred in the past and has only started for a couple of days. After this, the vehicle drives at a very slow speed and I am unable to accelerate as the screen prompts this message again.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am based in DHA 2 Islamabad and advice on a good mechanic to solve this issue would be very helpful. Should I go to dealership or resort to a mechanic?

Thank you so much.

You might have added an additional light at the back of the car that will be on permanently and that's connected with the brake lights. So it's getting a signal that your brake lights are continuously ON and while you pedal the accelerator, the displays shows that brake and accelerator are pressed simultaneously.
Just get that additional light connected with a connection other than brake lights.

Thank you for reply brother. I don't have any additional lights attached at the back of the car. I just have additional fog lamps at front of the car but I have had these for a few years.

Also, would you recommend going to any electrician? I don't want to cause a short-circuit of the whole system or anything.

Plz do check your brake light switch. Make sure rear brake lights only light up when you press the brake pedal & go off when you depress it.

Hey brother, thanks for the advice. Turns out it was the front disc pads that needed to be replaced!

You got had!

Front disc pads dont show such error, the error you faced was maladjusted brake pedal travel sensor. Quite common issue and easy to fix. (Use blue threadlock on it to prevent it loosening itself)
