I can’t imagine how any interior lighting LEDs would cause a problem, especially when there is no power applied to them. However it is conceivable that aftermarket headlight replacement LEDs, or high power brake or reverse LEDs, could be radiating or conducting EMI into the chassis ground and occasionally causing an ECU glitch. But only when they are powered on.
It may be worth an experiment at some point to reconnect your auxiliary reverse light and see if that was the culprit.

I agree 6 1/2 years with LED mods on my 2014, six months with same LED mods on my 2021 and now all of a sudden LEDs are the culprit my gut instinct tells me “HELL NO” !
Thanks for the suggestion …..
I’ll wait and see what happens, install one mod at a time if it doesn’t act up in two months.
By the way A Toyota corporate agreed when I called yesterday.
They stated, I need to remove all LEDs that were modded, return to OEM and see if it acts up again or they can’t go forward.
Will keep everyone informed “if/when” it acts up again!
