Hi YWers. I decided to clean the throttle body on my Yaris in the hopes of perhaps eliminating the rough idle during cold weather morning starts. I didn't take the entire part off the car, but just cleaned the entrance of the throttle body. I used throttle body cleaner. Now my VSR/TRAC and engine lights are lit up on my dash. Anyone have any idea what I could have done to cause this? Thanks.

Might have left something disconnected or got dirt in a connector. Did you use the old gasket for the TB or did you get a new one? Also I'm pretty sure Yaris' are one of the cars that turns off other systems (ABS, Traction control, cruise control etc) when the CEL is on. It wouldn't hurt to read the CEL and see what it's mad about.

Make sure everything is reconnected and see if disconnecting the battery for a minute clears up the VSR/TRAC and check engine lights.

Took the Yaris for a long spin and the VSR/TRAC and Engine lights cleared. Thanks so much for the responses, guys. Appreciate it very much.

HAHA I drove mine short distance without an instrument cluster (long story) anyway it was all kinds of p!$$ed off at me, ABS/Spinout light and SES Light, (I have two 2010s) and they have all that stability/traction control stuff, and yes it turns that stuff off when SES light is on...anyway I reset mine with ScanGauge and all was good...After I left a couple black marks...(Hey I feel as though we got jipped without the TRAC switch...yeah I know we can do the Ebrake/Brake U,D,L,R,U,D,L,R,B,A,B,A start crap...this is 2010 car not 1985 Nintendo.)
