TIP: Turn off VSC and TRC - Toyota Yaris Forums

Yaris Palme · 01-05-2009, 03:15 PM

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

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

hahaha cool, nice way to hack the car

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 · 01-05-2009, 03:38 PM

looool

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

AlexNet0 · 01-05-2009, 08:22 PM

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

PetersRedYaris · 01-05-2009, 08:43 PM

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

PetersRedYaris · 01-05-2009, 08:54 PM

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

andries · 01-05-2009, 09:43 PM

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

PetersRedYaris · 01-06-2009, 03:00 AM

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 · 01-07-2009, 11:40 PM

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

DieselPower · 06-11-2009, 04:10 AM

Great "trick"!

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 )

Danish Yaris · 06-11-2009, 12:44 PM

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 · 06-16-2009, 04:16 AM

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

CtrlAltDefeat · 06-16-2009, 05:30 AM

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.

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 · 06-17-2009, 02:56 PM

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