Cruise Control - Again! - Toyota Yaris Forums

For reference, I am definitely a noob, and have browsed through some of these threads.
Anyways... That all being said, I have an 08 Yaris, without any options except automatic tranny. Just tried installing the OEM cc on the wheel. The install worked great, and was actually quite easy, except that: the Cruise don't work. All I did was pop out the airbag, pop a hole in the plastic behind the steering wheel, stick in the OEM Toyota CC, and put it all back together. That all worked well, but the cruise doesn't kick in. Am wondering if there's something in the ECU I have to do to make it recognize the cc? I did check, and I do not have the cruise light on the dash, because as I mentioned, mine is the very bare bines one.

Thoughts?

FYI, I paid $110, for the OEM toyota cruise stalk and the wirnign harness from Metro Toyota ( cleveland, I think) If anyone is looking for the same, would be happy to post the link to their site. They were very good, and helped me out with the couple questions I had.

Anyways, any advice anyone can spot would be appreciated. Thanks.

2008 Yaris don't have the wiring from the ECM to the steering wheel, so you have to run a wire from pin 40 of the ECM connector A21 to the connector on the steering column where the spiral cable comes out. Take a look at the following post. Since you bought an OEM stalk, you can ignore the part about the switches are resistors.

2010 Yaris, Manual Trans base model. I was able to retrofit an OEM cruise. Took about an hour, but I do this for a living. Thought someone here might want to know.

BTW, pin 40 on th ECU had a connector in it even though the steering wheel connector didn't. Went ahead and hard wired like I would have otherwise.

Respect,
