I hope my question isn't stupid. I have been reading all the forum hours and hours. They are kind of confusing. BTW, I have 08 Yaris LB.

So, I ordered a cruise stalk from here:

I understand that I can just "combine" the "DIY cruise control 07-08 with button" and "OEM stalk 2009", then everything should work magically.

Here are my questions:
1. So, the stalk I purchased from eBay could be just substituted as the switches in "DIY cruise control 07-08", right??
2. If Question 1 is a yes, then how do I know which wire from the stalk goes where?
3. Do I need to get any other parts besides the stalk?

1. Yes.

2. It actually doesn't matter which of the two goes to the ECM pin 40 and which goes to ground.

3. Yes. You need a repair pin for the ECM and one for the connector under the steering column. See this thread for the details:

Hi Scott.. I priced out the two repair kits for the connectors (82998-24250, 82998-12870), and man they are pricey.. They are $11.98 each. Do you know what comes in the kit for $11.98?

A little piece of wire with the pin attached is all that you get for $12. I recently bought the parts so that I can offer the 3 pin/wire set for $10 shipped.

Isn't the repair pin.. just a piece of wire??

And, what is a repair pin? any pictures? what does it do?

Thanks!!

The DIY shows just sticking a piece of wire into the connector. This is not a good long term solution, as it will allow moisture to enter the sealed connector. The repair pin is one of the correct pins (with the rubber seal) that inserts into the connector.

Just wondering if this CC kit would work on a Yaris? Seems pretty cool!

It would, but I am sure it's a whole lot more expensive than simply adding the stalk and wires to use the ECM equipped CC.

Expensive yes. But then again, there's always a price to pay for "stylish" features.

Hey CTScott I seen your set up on micro image 4 sale. I have a 2008 Yaris hatchback w/Automatic
vin# Starts J1DJ and ecm is 89661-52g51. Will your package work? If yes how do I pay You for the stalk and wires needed to do this? I would like to do this, IT WOULD BE A GREAT SAVINGS TO ME.... Thanks alot :

Thanks to you and CTScott. Just did this yesterday and it works great. I used the 2 switch set up. Took about 2.5 hours all in, time very well spent. Thanks again!

Thanks for the step by step info, I was wondering if it works for a 08 Yaris HB? and what type of switches are they, are they the click type (sorry not very professional) or push on-push off type?

Thank you,

Thank you,

The switches need the be momentary normally open switches. Momentary is the type like a key on a keyboard, where you press it and it pops back up. Normally open means that it completes the circuit when you press it.

Is anyone having an issue with the cruise control indicator light? For some reason my LED doesn't light up when I engage the cruise (OEM stalk) all the time. I will press it again to disengage it and then it comes on. It will do that sometimes, and sometimes it won't come on at all when I engage it, and other times it works properly. At first thought, was thinking it might be a short -- but it only happens when the cruise is either engaged or disengaged as opposed to just randomly coming on or off while driving.

The indicator module detects the voltage change when the on/off switch is pressed. If the connections between the ECM and the stalk are not solid, then the voltage drop across them can cause the module to misinterpret the press.

You can use any value within these ranges:
216 to 264 ohms for one between resume and on/off
351 to 426 ohms for the one between set and resume
819 to 1001 ohms for the one between set and cancel

For wattage, 1/8 or 1/4 watt is fine.

I wonder if this switch would work for the on/off & Set setting for this type of cruise control setup?

The switches need to be momentary. That on is ON/OFF/Momentary, so it would be OK in one direction, but not the other. You'd want Momentary/Off/Momentary.

Been looking around to see if I can make something funky using your lighting module and resistors set up with below switches, but I guess nothing beats the stock CC setup.

Your innovations clears the way to personal styling of Yarises in this world :D
Thanks again!

Those would work, and the lighting is isolated from the switching, so that's good as well. For $9 each though the cost for 4 is the same as what I sell the stalks for.
