Possible clutch actuator problem

Hi,

A couple of months ago I bought a Toyota Yaris MK2.
Some times after driving for a bit and stop for e.g. a trafficlight, I get a constant beeping sound.
It stops when I start driving again.

It's exactly the sound from this video:

Is it correct that I probably need to have the clutch actuator replaced?

- Checked the battery, it's a new one. No problem. About 12.8v engine OFF, around 14.2/14.4v engine ON. Wire connection seems to be OK.
- Checked the fuses in the engine compartment with a multi-meter (Ohms and Volts). All are OK.
- The battery ground is connected to the chassis, do not see something odd.
- Used an OBD2 connector to check for faultcodes, none thru two different OBD scanner apps (Torque and Car scanner).

Someone posted a thread quite some time ago inquiring how to disable that beeping. I believe in his case, he was referring to an alarm triggered by a proximity detector, detecting something to close to the front of the car at a stop.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply, maybe I should have added some more information.

- It's a secondhand Toyota Yaris from 2006, don't think it has a proximity sensor.
- The beeping also happens when there is no car in front of me.

Today:
- Removed all the fuses and sanded them, to make the connection better. And placed them back.
- Used contact spray in all slots.
- Removed the minus pole from the battery and sanded it, did the same to the ground connected to the chassis. And placed it back.

Apparently European market MK2 2006 could have sensors installed.

I see, a genuine Toyota accessory apparently.
My car doesn't have it AFAIK, no beeping when close to something.

Shame I got no other replies about this problem.
The beeping can also be stopped by shifting manually from one to two, after a while it starts again. Then I shift back to one.
It must be a problem with the clutch actuator motor.

Sir,

Thanks for bringing this to general attention.

Corolla 1.3 VVT 2006, manufactured in France, here...

Humbly, i have exact same problem early last year. Didnt beep at first. Car just stopped-and-wouldnt-start when driving slowly in queue. After some time, the defective gear-control burned out my clutch discs. It was only beeping at the very end and... Well, I thought it was just defective physical clutch. Ok. Had just the clucth plates replaced. But only to get exact same problem now again... 1 year later. It was the other car parts, I suspect

Besides the beeping, you gotta smell carefully for burnt clutch, please.

Sir, please watch (I know, slightly other model, but setup and year looks very similar to me):

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lsbh...=LMAutoRepairs

This problem can originate from either of reasons :

- bad relay
- bad transmission control computer box (located behind glove department)
- bad automat-clutch motor
- it might even mean that your gearbox is leaking oil, I personally had that experience for a short period
- or it could even be some error in the transmission rotation-sensor

without proper error-diagnostice, we will replace parts in the blind. Please read comments in video above and notice gentleman, who replaced all gear-motor-control-parts and things still didnt work...

Back to basics - if it's beeping, it may be an electronics issue or at least detected by electroncs. It's not just some physical defect, which goes unnoticed. Doing a short test by applying manual gear selection may help to determine if this an automat-issue only. Going for the relay also allow for an easy replacement-test. Good luck - I will have to figure out myself what is the real reason for my cluctch-beeping noise. Starts after approx 10 min idle engine - with no attempt to change gear. It's 5 beeps - followed by 6 beeps then 5 beeps... Burnt clutch. For more information, I found this useful:

https://pmmonline.co.uk/technical/th...-and-function/

fuse box layout

https://fuse-box.info/toyota/toyota-...uses-and-relay

watch out for R2 and number 21... Also, on ebay I searched for : Toyota VCI Mini Scanner -- and I'm buying one. After all, this is just one step up from doing OBD codes - gotta try this out. Only problem is that shipping from china takes ages.

I hope this will all help people, who will run into this in the future.

Seriously - this is a Toyota factory quality issue - diagnosis shouldnt be that hard also. Doing beeps and not delivering error code is just genuine bad customer-service.

regards
