OK. Do you have a volt meter? That pin is definitely the one that controls turning the running lights on or off. For the US version of that module, letting that pin float (cutting the wire) works. For your version, if we can measure the voltage from the blue wire to the chassis ground with the engine running and with the headlights off and then with them on, we can figure out if that pin needs to be tied high or low on your module.

yes, thats already in my mind. i'll check the pins with voltmeter.
but i'm back from holiday i don't know when can i find time to try :(

thanks for everything. i'll give information again when i'm done.

I found some more info in the European service manual. The wire I had you clip gets grounded when the headlight switch is turned on, to tell the module to stop the DRL mode.

One more quick test you could try is to take the DRL module side of the wire you cut (and then reattached) and connect it to a chassis ground.

does anyone know if this works on 2010 hb?

[yaris2010RS]

lol, nvm, read back a bit and saw we are still working on it

Your Canadian one may be the same as the US ones were prior to 2010 (which means that the procedure from the beginning of this thread would work). If it's the same as the European one, then as we saw with Kaya B's, this procedure wouldn't work.

jsut a thought to consider...the DRL will stay off if the hand break is up..... maybe if we can confuse the relay into believing it is up all the time.... i studying electro-mechanical engineering in school so if you could send me a wire schematic maybe i can be of some assistance?

If the brake up works, then you definitely have the US style DRL module, as the European one doesn't have a parking brake switch input. In that case, the simple method will work for you...

SICK!!! that is god like, so glad dont have to rewire my entire car..... lol. GREAT SUCCESS!!! lol. thanks alot, gonna do it now. so its on the driverside (left side) of radio and best way to get to that plug is through the steering wheel

Yes, removing the lower column cover gives the quickest access to it.

okay, successfully disabled them, thanks alot. anyone interested in buying the item off me i'm willing to sell. very easy to install/remove.

also disabled clutch position starter sensor thingy.... i found it very annoying as i liuke to start my car without fully getting in and depressing the clutch all the way past floorboards, through firewall as the car will onyl start once the clutch is in the engine compartment.....or at least thats how it feels.....

[Doc Zaius]

How? Did I miss a DIY for that?

[yaris2010RS]

lmfao, i've had the car for 3 days and i found it very annoying..... i can give u a quick run down of it.....

get down on the floor inside drivers area, look at the clutch, there is a white push button sensor. there isn't much room to work and i had learned from previous sensor bypasses that some sensors have a resistor inside so the computer knows if u cut the wires and connect them so i didn't even attempt that. and the darn thing is put in with like 3 tons tourque so u get unbolt it either. so, as i did, wrap it with duct tape. lol. not very technical and jsut a quick fix for now till i can get the time asside to do a proper job. (prob this weekend and if i actually do a good job i'lll DIY it)

hey, i still couldn't take a look :( actually it's perfect in winter :)

my drl works while handbrake is on or off :( and the authorized service says "never ever don't cut any wires for warranty void"

i'm happy i didn't cut the blue wire. i had just unplugged it from the connector because of the dispossibility of cancellation. so i put it back to the connector

i think i'll go to a good electric technician and will give a try...

The more I look at the EWD for the European version of the DRL module, the more amazed I am about how different it is than ours.

One other quick thing that you can try is unplugging the green wire in pin 8 (the green wire next to the brown wire). This wire is the input from the alternator that tells the DRL module that the engine is running. With it removed, the DRL will think that the engine is not running and therefore won't waste the power to run the DRLs.
