Hi there. Unfortunately, the Toyota Platz is a vehicle sold outside of the United States and has different error codes specific to the country of sale. Since we only offer technical advice on US sold cars, trucks and SUV’s, we’re not able to help you diagnose this problem. I would recommend contacting a local mechanic for details on your error code. Thanks.
