Disconnecting the battery while the car is running is a very bad idea. The battery is the only thing that holds the alternator down somewhere in the vicinity of 12V - disconnect it and it can produce hundreds of volts. You could seriously die. Even if you are lucky and avoid death, there are lots of systems in the Yaris that aren't built for high voltage. You could end up with fried electronics.

Old cars with generators had a current limiter in the voltage regulator, so removing a battery terminal was a common troubleshooting step, oh about half a century ago.

Is that a fact, because I did it to my sedan to check the alternators response because I had a dying battery, and I m still here, with no luck, so before you try to come off as a smarty pants, check the info before posting, in other words dont hate the player hate the game. Do you feel me my dude. This is to learn from one another, no disrespect to anyone so check yourself. Holla.

Suit yourself - just a warning based on decades of experience in the auto electric field. Ever seen one of those 120 volt converters for car alternators? How do they work? By disconnecting the battery from the alternator.

Just because someone disagrees with something you say doesn't mean he's disrespecting you. Don't be so touchy.

No hard feelings on my part, my bad. I was just letting you know in what I did and nothing happened, but this is not about you or me its YT who needs help, so its water under the bridge, my bad holla my dude.
