The other one will only work after on/off works, so unless you can watch the cruise control input on a Toyota Techstream tool, you really can't tell if the other functions are working when on/off is now.

Right but after i get it on, everything works great. I used it from Chicago to St. Louis and back this past weekend to keep pace with traffic.

Well, I think I figured out what the problem is. I went ahead and pulled the ECM plug back out and checked it out. On closer inspection, the wire that came with the kit does not have the little rubber piece that goes directly behind the pin. This piece not only looks like it seals out moisture, but also locks the pin more securely than the pin lock mechanism does on it's own.

This would explain why it worked flawlessly right after I finished the install because the pin had just been seated. Add on top of that that I didn't have any zip ties for a couple days to re-secure the ECM wires and it was a recipe for that pin to vibrate out slightly.

Anyone know what that piece is called? If I can get a picture, I'll post it to show what I'm talking about. Where would I find these?

Edit: I found a picture. It's the blue piece right behind the pin on the yellow wire.

I was looking at this pdf. Looking at the picture of the cruise stalk on page 2, does anyone know if that one wire with the brown connector is actually used?

Mr CTScott. I just want to say THANK YOU for taking the time to make this tutorial. Just the fact that its over 6 years old and still being used is a testament to its quality. I just finished installing CC on my 2009 manual 3dr hatchback base. I did go the OEM route and used all Toyota parts for the install. I think it took about 25 mins all said and done. I realize I could have done it cheaper but I just don't like messing with aftermarket parts for stuff like this.

In case anyone is interested here are the Toyota part numbers that I used.

84632-08021 - Cruise Control Assembly - Amazon $84.99
88280-14030 - Cruise Control Clutch Release Switch - Amazon $21.72
45184-52130-B0 - Cover with Cruise Control Hole - ToyotaPartsDeal $23.76
84633-02020 - Cruise Control Switch Wire (with male spade connector for horn) $29.12

I live in the middle of butt hurt nowhere. It's a 90 min drive to Walmart! I cant tell you how happy this makes the wife and I


Thanks!
Damien

This will only work for US/Canda/Puerto Rico Yaris, as Yaris from all other areas lack the built-in ECM programming for Cruise Control. Vehicles from other areas must use an aftermarket cruise control system.


Any procedure that requires 34 pages of documentation may seem intimidating, but this installation is really not difficult. I tried to add as much detail as possible to clarify the parts where people who have installed cruise control have had questions.


This guide is broken up in to seven sections encompassing the following:

Section 1: OEM Cruise Control Stalk Installation.
Section 2: Steering Column Connector D3 Pin Installation
Section 3: ECM Connector A21 Pin Installation
Section 4: Connecting the ECM Pin to the Steering Column Pin Through the Firewall
Section 5: Cruise Control Clutch Switch Installation
Section 6: Optional Cruise Control Indicator Module Installation
Section 7: Verifying Operation

Where did you get the screws from. I was able to purchase the Cruise control handle with wire but having difficulty finding the screws online.

[NYC-SE]

Thank you for that very well documented step by step video. I'm sure it will help out others in the future.

[scratchpaddy]

They are M5 screws. Any hardware store will have them. The shortest ones you can find should do fine.

Just finished my install. Why didn't I do this sooner?!? Thanks for the parts and the great tutorial Scott!

P.S. I didn't order the rear cruise rear boss. I just used this to drill the hole....

Worked a treat and no pulling the steering wheel!

Dear Toyota friends!

I would get some confirmation about cruise control. My Dad's birthday gift would be a cruise. He has a 2008 Auris 1.33 petrol europe(uk) engine code 1nr-fe.
Did see one of supported yaris has the same engine.
Will it fit?
Can you give me name of small metal connectors or a source for them?
Please help, thank you!

Just finished mine this morning. The hardest parts were running the wiring and making ghetto pins. lol

Hi I couldnt find any introduction page so My name is Alper and from Turkey.
I have a Yaris 1.33 1NR-FE Multi Mod transmission I checked my VINN number and it says that my car's market: North America, Europe(UK) by the way it is made in France.
TYPE: NSP90L-CHLGKW
I was wondering if my car's ECU has built in CC functionality.
Is there anything I can do to figure out this?

[tiiams]

Mine has been working great for 7 years or so i forgot when I bought it. Thanks scott only issue is blue light gets confused in cold weather. but functionality is perfect. By the way I am at 238,000 mile approx.

Hi Scott, I purchased the OEM cruise control stalk for the Yaris, but am still in search of the rest of the parts. Do you have those in inventory? - Mykal

[Sumdude]

Hi Scott,
I am new to your forum and also a new Yaris owner. I have just purchased a used 2010 Yaris LB with out Cruise Control. I have been reading some forum posts and I would like to know if you sell the complete CC kit and if so, how do I order it?
Thanks for your assistance,
Sumdude

Hi all,
I just wanted to post my experience with this version of the car if anyone is interested. I have a 2010 US Sedan auto transmission with no power windows/locks, but with AC. I found a couple of interesting differences with my car that I couldn't figure out from the pdf, so I thought I would share. Big thanks to CTScott for the guide!

I was able to get the stalk from a junkyard Camry (04-09 I think, according to the other thread). I pulled off the extra wiring from the Camry and was able to pull the pins out from the larger Camry connector, which I was able to fit into the smaller connector (with the horn wire, section 1.4.3 in pdf) from the Yaris. Cost about 10 dollars for the stalk locally. If you do need to pull those wires from the Camry connector, you have to pull really hard (I thought I was going to break it) but it will disconnect if you have the lock popped up. One last thing about the stalk, I only had a 1 inch circular drill bit (Spade bit? the flat kind..) but it worked out fine. I highly recommend cutting the hole in the plastic, it is quick and easier than pulling the steering wheel.

Next, I found that the ECM pin already had a wire in it (it says this in the guide) so I was able to use a tap splice to connect to this. I precut the wires with a wire stripper to expose the wire to the splice (wasn't sure if it would cut the insulation fully). Firewall install wasn't too bad, as I was also installing a car amp wire. However, I think my grommet was in backwards, since I had to flip it around behind the carpet to pull it out.

The last thing I found was that I did not have any D3 connector pins. I found an ebay seller who makes the same wire and sells them for cheap (8 bucks shipped for 2 pins). I used some wire from the remote turn on from my amp kit (18 gauge) to connect the ECM tap splice to these D3 connectors. Make sure the pin lock snaps in easily with a nice click and you are good. I was able to see the indicator on the dash after connecting the battery and holding the ground wire to metal. Took it for a test drive today and it worked like a charm!

Quick summary:
2010 Yaris sedan, AT, no power windows or locks

Need to buy:
Stalk and wiring to horn pin (Need T30 bit to get into wheel)
D3 connectors
18 gauge wire or similar small gauge wire
Tap splice that fits your wire gauge
Butt connectors or crimp caps (I used Install Bay CC2218 since I had them)

You need a few other basic tools from the pdf, so read over it to get the gist. Thank you to all who posted on these forums about this so I could install a cruise control in my car for $21!
