15 clicks is way too many, it means you need to adjust your star adjuster to tighten the shoes to the drum. This is why your brake pad feels soft. That causes this effect on the Yaris

Thanks, I'll do it. How many clicks would it be if things were normal?

And I do have to ask the question: I thought they were supposed to be "self adujusting". As in, they'd finally adjust themselves even if it took awhile. Maybe the self adjusting part only works within a certain limited range?
