TIP: Turn off VSC and TRC

[Yaris Palme]

1. Push the clutch pedal
2. Pull the handbrake (hold it)
3. Start engine
4. 2x foot break (at the second hold the break)
5. Handbrake: open - pull - open - pull
6. again 2x foot brake, but this time do NOT hold it)

Then should turn on the VSC and TRC lights.

i have a yaris TS with keylessGO... i don´t know how it is at the normal with key. and i also don´t know how it is at the automatic yaris.....
please just test it. at the automatic yaris i think you must not push the clutch pedal from #1 (hahahahah, because someone has stolen it)

to active the VSC and TRC just restart the engine.

and now. just :burnrubber:


sooo. i write it again, after it was deleted from the hack.

[eTiMaGo]

hahaha cool, nice way to hack the car :biggrin:

But I wonder.... outside of Europe and maybe Japan, I don't think any models have traction or stability control? I mean, some models don't even have ABS!

[Yaris Palme]

looool

hmmm
ABS is in EU in each yaris.
TRC and VSC are accessories..... excepted the TS.

[AlexNet0]

Ya, mine is standard US 07 LB 5spd, no ABS, no trac or stability controls, lol

[PetersRedYaris]

My Xb has VSC and I'm trying this ASAP...

[PetersRedYaris]

Negative on the XB, I really wish it worked...

[andries]

In my country is ABS obliged on each new car sold. If the car has not you get no license plate.

[PetersRedYaris]

I hate that all these features are being mandated by governments. Like TPMS, I know how to check my own f'ing tire pressure... Make these things (ABS, TPMS, VSC, TC, etc.) options or at least disableable.

I think the whole Ford Explorer exploding tires/rollovers thing brought the TPMS thing about.
Just a guess.....

Is that some cheat code to get extra lives in Mario Bros?

[mikenacarato]

i dont think my 09 has anything but abs. ill check though

[DieselPower]

Great "trick"! :smile:

Works perfectly (European Yaris).

I also saw it once on some LEXUS forum (Polish) so probably it works for various TOYOTA / LEXUS vehicles.

If you have ABS you will also have BA (brake Assist ):thumbsup:

[Danish Yaris]

Hi

In Denmark all Toyota Yaris have ABS and VSC/TRC.
I will try this on my car, it´s the one with push button start too.

Regards Steven.

[unclenefeesa]

Yaris in my region come only with ABS and Brake Assist.
TRC and VSC are not even optional.

[CtrlAltDefeat]

well on my 08 manual Lb I have ABS. not sure about VSC and TRC I tried this just to see what would happen and nothing did.

Just a guess.....

that was a ford problem, not a tire manufacture problem ;) ford specced a too-low rated tire for the heavy ass SUV's

[Kongo-Otto]

Yaris with VSC/TRC got factory rear disc brakes. No discs, no VSC/TRC.

[CtrlAltDefeat]

It's not fair, we don't get nothing good here in america...:cry:

[thekoket]

wow....it works perfectly for my yaris:X

[earljail]

AFAIK all grades of Yaris in Canada are:

Power Assisted, Front Discs, Rear Drums, Antilock Braking System (ABS), Electronic Brake Force Distribution (EBD)...


My '07 doesn't have the ABS or EBD.

[m5alfen]

Wow, thank you for a great tip. I pulled the relay for the VSC and TRC but that also killed the ABS. This was really great. I have a Yaris 1,8TS from late 2008.
Best regards

[StreetVibeTS]

start car with foot on brake, let go of brake

within 30 seconds do this

hold handbrake, pump foot twice, let go handbrake

hold footbrake, pump handbrake twice, let go of footbrake

hold handbrake, pump foot twice, trac is now off

I bought a second hand 2008 T3 Yaris and do not know whether it has VSC or not. Is there any way to figure it out? I can see the ABS light for a moment when I start the engine, so I know I've got that!
I mean other then trying to smoke the tires and seeing if any lights come out :p

find some dirt large enough to drive in a tight circle, cut the wheel tight

mat the accelerator

if your car controls the speed and allows you to navigate that circle
you have traction control. if you make a partial circle then start to spin
out, or if the engine can rev way up and keep the wheels spinning, you
do not have it

[Pingouin]

Thanks for the tip localhost.
I was hoping that there would be some sort of more physical indicator, i.e. a light/switch/sensor that can be spotted. As I said, I don't get a "car skidding sideways" light when I switch on the engine, so my gut feeling is that I don't have VSC. Besides, it was an option, and on a 1.0 engine, I don't think the previous owner would have felt that he needed traction control!

[fase4]

I have a 2005 HB TS 1.5 and this not work for me... i only have a switch for TRC but not for VSC... some help?
