2009 Maintenance Recommendations

You may have TPMS. I have a similar base '09, in service date of 12/08, and bought new the only options were AC and an auto transmission, but it has TPMS. That being said, if the light is on, check for a low tire. There is no other service.

I'd look at shocks and front struts, and battery age and condition, but otherwise change the coolant at 100K, then every 50K miles thereafter (per the service manual). Plugs should be changed at 125K miles, and PS you don't gap iridium plugs. MAF service is a scam, as is fuel tune up. Change the oil and filter every 5K (per the manual). Rotate Tyres about every 8K miles.

The only recalls were for the passenger seat adjustment springs, power window regulators (which I don't have) and the passenger side airbag replacement, which won't be fixed until the next millennium.

I have 155K miles on the clown car, still going strong as my daily driver.

wrong. MAF needs to be cleaned every so often. dust and moisture WILL make it through your filter and end up coating the platinum sensor wire causing the engine to run richer when less flow is sensed from wire. it will even throw a code eventually after lots of build up.
fuel WILL eventually cause a gumming or varnish build up in injectors if you are not running them 24/7/365. when you turn off the engine, it will start the varnishing cycle. it may take 10+ years, but it will cause a fuel atomization issue in the spray pattern.
you can use brake cleaner on MAF, but MAF cleaner is specially formulated not to strip coating from sensor wire wile cleaning all debris from sensor.
a high quality fuel cleaner is easy to add to the fuel tank, like BG44k. the fuel line hook-up works good too, but is kind of a pain in the butt sometimes to set-up.
can of 44k is like $25
can of MAF cleaner is like $12
i'd recommend spending $37 every 2 years on your air and fuel system.

I thought the Yaris only had a MAP and not a MAF?
