DIY - 2009 Cruise Control for $10, without pulling the steering wheel and airbag - Page 11 - Toyota Yaris Forums

julienrl · 08-29-2009, 07:56 PM

Hello, I wanted to do this but could not find the parts (even with the part numbers) for the covers\panels on the dash (so I can swap it for the normal one if I take the car in for servicing or something or want to sell the car as a trade in in the future), so I made the mirror cover one myself! It happens to be a hobby of mine to make plastic objects \ casting and molding, so if anyone needs a mirror cover, the master mold is made, and since that was the expensive part, i can make them for pretty cheap if anyone wants one for 10$ shipping anywhere included :). Takes about 24 to have one made and ready so it could be sent pretty quickly.

Thank Scott for this DIY.
System is installed and working. Couple things I found on my 2008 Sedan: The wire is already installed between ECM pin 40 to connector AD4 under the dash. Instead of running a new wire from ECM or disassemble the dash to get to the wire from the top of AD4, I push a long pin up from the bottom of connector AD4 (pin 9) for wire connection to the switches.
My two spring loaded off toggle switches are mounted onto a existing blanking hole located beside the park brake handle. Toggle switches operation are: System enable/disable on each toggle and Set/Coast (when held). Sorry I would have posted photo of the installation if and when I find out how to.

I just did post 1 to my 2010 yaris and it works perfectly. I made my own switchbox and will mount near the handbrake.

edit: I just found my new permanent switch. I will get this in the mail, then
cut off the control box I have now, and mount this in the empty switch slot
next to my stereo AUX input.

super sano install for the Yaris. keyboard sized 2-axis momentary joystick

I really enjoyed CTScott's instructions on how to add cruise control. I haven't purchased a Yaris yet but I'm planning to do so this spring. Since CTScott obviously is a very smart individual, I was wondering whether he could provide instructions on how to add a headphone jack in approximately the same location as the two cruise control switches. The jack would not necessarily need to shut off the speakers in the car--just tap into the sound system. Before someone goes ballistic on how "unsafe" this is, I would like to point out that my drive is very early in the morning on an interstate with very little traffic. I would take the headphones off when driving in serious traffic. Thanks.

2010 Yaris 5door Auto, DIY cruisecontrol switch installed. pardon the red sharpie treatment, it needs another coat.

it's teh bomb. the switch action feels like toyota engineered this thing, it really does. easy to hang yer arm off the
armrest and + or - ...and it is precise.

So I think I might have screwed up somewhere, I just notice in the last day or so after I installed this mod (stills not working but I havn't had time to track down the problem). I noticed that the airbag off light on the passenger side will light up only for a bit randomly while driving. The airbag on light works fine when someone is riding with me. Any ideas on what I did wrong?

The two are probably unrelated. The airbag light occasionally flickering may be due to the empty seat weight calibration being off.

For the cruise issue, start with your connection at the ECM. Make sure you are in the correct pin there. If you just want to verify that the cruise and airbag issues are unrelated, disconnect the cruise wire to the ECM.

Posting pictures of your connection to the ECM and you resistor setup/wiring to it will help as well.

Can you track down the electrical wiring diagrams for the Chinese market Yaris? Someone from Europe tried the CC mod and it didn't work. Once I got a copy of the EWD for their market, I found that the CC pin on the ECM wasn't actually used for their market.

SEALL · 10-27-2009, 12:06 AM

OK，thanks for all,and do you know how much volts on pin 40?

Pin 40 measures 12 volts with nothing connected to it.

SEALL · 10-27-2009, 10:53 PM

thanks! i will check it out,one more question:the Resistors should be 240 ohms/390 ohms/910 ohms and 1/8W or 1/4W? or whether it should be with limits?

Correct for the values. Either 1/8W or 1/4W is fine.

SEALL · 10-28-2009, 09:31 PM

Thanks for all,i checked the PIN 40 on the ECM yesterday,but it was no volts on it,so i can confirm that the CC pin on the ECM wasn't actually used for Chinese market.
thank you for all the help.

Maybe you should buy a USDM ECM off ebay. Then, you'll have the only Yaris in China with cruise control.

I installed the CC, when I switch it on the speedometer jumps once , pressing the set buttom dosen't set the speed . While installing , by mistake I connected the 12 V supply instead of the ground which stalled the engine immediately . Can anyone help me if I have screwed up the CC function of my ECU. The car is running fine otherwise.
