It does not work on European Yaris, as they don't have the cruise control functionality built into the ECM. To add cruise control you would need to purchase an expensive aftermarket kit (I believe people have mentioned it to be about $800 USD).

wow that`s expensive
Did you also check the diesel European models, or just the gasoline powered ones? Thank you for your quick answer. |

Disaster! Car dead in driveway!
Well, as you can probably tell from the stupid questions I was asking, this mod was way way beyond me. I have now broken a part and am wondering if you would identify which Toyota part number it is (where do you find these numbers?)
It is the plastic locking lever which locks in and holds connector A21. Picture enclosed. Also, I did another stupid thing which seemed smart at the time: I pushed the plug over Pin 40 down through the connector. Of course it didn't come out the other side. I was supposed to pull it OUT! Stupid stupid. Now my special 20.00 connnector orderd from Toyota will not seat. Any suggestions? Other than just shooting myself now. |

I don't see the locking lever listed anywhere in the EPC, so for that one you'll have to check with the parts person at your local dealer to see if it can be purchased (otherwise you might have to try to find one at a junkyard). for getting that rubber plug back out, try pushing it from the pin side. If that doesn't work, you might be able to pull it out the wire side using a sewing pin with the tip bent into a hook. |

There is a part number on the lever but it says "Tyco 90980-12589"
Tried googling it but nothing yet. |

I also did that with the rubber thing in the connector, too. Just take a needle and push it back out the right way, it'll go. I had a lot of trouble too with that stupid connector. That black sliding piece wouldn't go back on, and after 10 minutes of fudging around with it, I just took it off and put the gray piece back on and slid it into place.
Don't worry - your car is not dead.

He tried for quite some time to work out that plug using a pin, a thicker piece of wire, and just some general cussing. He says he can see the plug down in there and it is kind of sideways, allowing a wire to go right through to the other side, without piercing the plug. He wants to use a tiny drill bit and DRILL the plug to bits. I say we don't know what the heck is inside that connection hole, so we risk ruining a 500.00 component! We might just smear the material the plug is made of all up inside there, making a worse mess. We might somehow screw up the neighboring connector, which has a wire already in it. I want to try leaving the plug in and just pushing a single-strand AWG 20 wire through the connector and seeing if THAT will make a good-enough connection. A wire of that description does go right through. So, do we try it his way or my way? Or, do I just cover the hole left by the missing plug with electrical tape and pronounce this vehicle PERMANENTLY WITHOUT CRUISE CONTROL. I hope at least you all are getting a good laugh out of this! |

I would avoid the drill bit route, as that has the potential to do unnecessary damage. The cavity that the plug is stuck in is rectangular, so it is fairly easy to have it round plug end of sideways in there. The drill bit will probably just chew up the soft sides of the cavity, rather than the plug. The key with the plug being wedged is to get something to hook deep enough into the plug to allow it to be pulled. |

my main question is about how to take off the ECU harness. i have gone as far as "unlocking" the harness via the "white clip" like the pictures from the previous posts. but does the harness come off even further??? <<< can someone please take a pic of the "full breakdown" of the harness??? what i did was pretty much just "unlocked" the harness via the "white clip" and slid a wire through PIN 40. <<< this i believe somehow is not "good enough" contact to the ECU itself. i think this is what I'm stuck on, because i cannot establish a good contact from the wire to the ECU. i have the little connector pin, but just don't know how to break down the ECU harness to fit it onto PIN 40 of the harness. HELP PLEASE. |

I think the one thing which no one has explicitly stated yet is that you MUST have the special Toyota "repair terminal" to make this mod work for the 07-08 models. Just shoving any ole wire through the pin 40 hole doesn't cut the mustard. Did anyone get it to work that way? |

So this is what I found under the steering column in my EU spec 08` Yaris D-4D.
I have the brown and blue wires but both in the wrong pin locations. Sorry for the blueish color, i took the photos with my cellphone. |
