I was going to recommend taking it to the dealer. I assume there are competent technicians there? Since you own a Toyota, is there not a dealer?

This is usually the type of problem people can't fix themselves. Computer/electrical systems in cars are the most complicated aspect of them and require specialized expertise and equipment to even find out what's wrong, never mind to fix it. Many times, the whole interior has to come apart.

This is definitely one of a kind for the Yaris - the most trouble free car ever.


Good luck.

ya I took it to the toyota dealer... and their electrician said all this...Actually in Pakistan toyota dealers dont sell Vitz/yaris they are imported from japan as reconditioned car and the local dealers sell them in their show room...so here support for vitz is very bad ...

The first thing I would recommend that he try (after checking the battery voltage for significant increase or decrease) is to disconnect the small connector on the alternator, which gives the ECM, A/C ECU and power steering ECU info about the alternator's output.

at last I found a good electrician ...he figured out the problem...the problem was with th rear view camera...its wires somehow got attached with each other which caused the whole fuse box to explode ...he replaced all fuses and repaired the fuse box ...now every thing is working fine again :)... toyota electricians sucks..they said that there is the problem with brake switch which sounds wiered to me.. anyway thanks alot for the help you guys specially CTScott :)
