DIY - 2009 Cruise Control for $10, without pulling the steering wheel and airbag - Page 6 - Toyota Yaris Forums

Passenger's side in the engine bay. Also my clutch switch works perfectly. It truly is a frankenstein though. I will take some pics tomorrow when it's light outside. If you don't mind spending the 18 bucks, buy the stock one. It will look more professional. I may switch it out later, I just wnated to see if I could make my own :)

Excellent, I'll give this a shot this weekend and report back results.

PatrickJohnson · 05-19-2009, 09:55 PM

okay, i gave it a shot with no luck. I wired the switch as shown with the correct resistor values, and went to run a wire to the ecm. THat's where i hit a snag...

I thought there would be an existing wire for me to tap to. instead, i have one of those little harness plugs in the hole where pin 40 would be. how did you guys install the wire? I'm itching to do this!

Check out this other thread, starting at page 16 to see how nickjhort did it:

AAAARRRRGGGHHH!

So, i finally got a few strands of the "red" wire pulled through the ecm connector on pin 40, so i know there is a connection. the black side is grounded directly to the black battery cable.

my switches are wired exactly like described (2 switch method).

i'm going to check my resistor values, maybe i used 620K instead of 620 ohm.

PatrickJohnson · 05-19-2009, 11:23 PM

SUCCESS!!!!

Turns out I had grabbed the wrong resistors. Once i corrected it, I road tested and it worked like a charm. I've drilled holes and mounted the switches, but I'll have to wait until this weekend to run a permanent wire from the ecm.

So, I can confirm 100% that it works on a base model auto trans 2008 LB.

Great!

We should try to figure out a terminal that will fit the pin on the ECU, so that a more proper connection can be made. The next time I place a Digikey order, I am going to order a bunch of different sizes of Molex connector pins and try to find one that fits well.

PatrickJohnson · 05-20-2009, 10:14 AM

also, you can make a pretty secure connection by doing it the way nickjhort pushed it through the connector, only instead of just fraying the wires a bit, you can push it through enough to wrap the wire up into the large slot in the middle of the connector. This will secure it in place and make sure it doesn't pull out.

PatrickJohnson · 05-21-2009, 01:10 AM

some pics of my install. it's all permanent and looking good!
New wire added:

Came through the firewall at the rubber hose on the passenger floor board

wiring at the switch point

Convenient grounding bolt under passenger kick panel

Finished!

nickhjort · 05-21-2009, 09:41 AM

Nice, looking good

On my computer when you look at the instructions at the beginning of this post, theres a problem. Instead of a picture of the 4 and 2 switch hookup, there are red X's. Can someone post a drawing of the two ways to wire the switches up? Thanks!

The photos are on photobucket, which gets blocked by many corporate proxy servers. PM me your email address and I'll send you the instructions with the pictures.

2008....did you have the icon on your gauge cluster? I looked on mine, but didn't have one. Bummer.

PatrickJohnson · 06-03-2009, 10:29 AM

No, the 2008 LB doesn't have the light on the dash. But really, I didn't need it. I may at some point add the other 2 buttons though.

regal · 06-03-2009, 11:50 AM

If you have an 09 I would just buy an oem stalk from ebay for $30, you really not sving much be using buttons.

bronsin · 06-03-2009, 02:31 PM

Looking at the switches, EB1900-ND, I see it takes a half inch hole to mount. Id like to do the four switch version. Im thinking this could crowd the hole behind the panel. And it would be difficult to drill 4 half inch holes in the panel that close together. Im thinking of using a smaller switch which takes a .19 inch mounting hole. The eb1900 is rated 3 amp @ 125VAc. The smaller switch is rated .5A @ 125VAC. Will this be enuf? Thanks!

The current draw in negligible, so any switch will work. Fitting four of the ones I used is tricky. I drew it up in CAD and found that I only had a margin of about 1/8" for the four switches to fit through the hole behind the trim piece. One thing I just realized that I didn't check how much that hole can be widened.

There's not a huge savings in using the OEM stalk; To me it was more about not having to pull the steering wheel to install it.
