Can we do this? (aka The DIY Cruise Control Thread) - Toyota Yaris Forums

So, I've poured through 80% of these pages. I have an 09 Sedan, automatic, base model. No power windows or locks. No cruise either.

I would be looking to add a stalk for the cruise, from what I've gathered all I should have to do is get the stalk and hook it up? Does anyone have pictures of adding a stalk to an 09 automatic?

All you have to do on the '09 is add the stalk as the ECU is already wired for cruise. All that is required for the oem cruise is to buy the trim piece for your steering column that has the stalk hole and buy the stalk. then remove the steering column cover, plug in the stalk, and put the new cover on. If you don't want to foot the bill for new pieces, you can remove the cover and splice in switches to the factory wires as shown earlier in the this thread and in the diy.

I dont know about the 08's or 09's, but on my 07 the steering column cover already had a notched spot so you could easily cut out the hole for the stalk.

Good read!

Any updates on an 09 yaris MT? Any confirmations regarding the connector for the clutch switch?

Parts needed:

Clutch Switch: 88280-14030
Steering Cover: 4518452130b0
Stalk: 84632-34011

I already ordered the stalk on ebay for $29.99 shipped.

Wow ! thats a quick reply ! I'm trying that right now, I'll tell you if it works in 10 minutes...

Vince87 · 07-20-2009, 02:15 PM

I soldered every connections real bad and there's still nothing happening... If my understanding is good all I have to do is get to >40 mph (~60km/h on my canadian car), press the on/off button (with black and red wires) and then press on set, is that it !? If it's a ground problem, can I use a ground wire somewhere to make sure that it's not my connection to the chassis that is bad!? thanks for you help !

That is correct (it's actually >25 mph). Just to clarify, the on/off switch is the one before the resistor and the set switch is the one after the resistor.

By the way, I believe that you are the first Canadian trying this.

For a ground, The bolt that you posted the picture of is a great ground point. You can strip about an inch of insulation off of the wire, wrap the wire around the bolt (under the washer) and crank the bolt back down.

Vince87 · 07-20-2009, 04:24 PM

Alright thanks for clarifying this point ! By the way in the meantime I tried to ground it on the battery with a wire going out the window without success... I verified if there was an internal resistance in my switches but there's none... I've been working on it (mostly making trials again and again) for more than 6 hours and I'm actually wondering if something is different on the canadian version !!??

PatrickJohnson · 07-20-2009, 04:42 PM

just to be clear, you know you have to have the resistors in place, correct? A simple grounding of the pin 40 wire will not trigger the cruise, you need those resistors wired to the switches...

Vince87 · 07-20-2009, 05:01 PM

Yeah I know ! they're under the yellow tape on the 1st picture a few posts above... And I doubled checked for the value of the resistors with the color codes... I just cant find what I'm missing.

PatrickJohnson · 07-20-2009, 05:05 PM

okay, just checking :) Anyhow, I would suggest 2 things:

1) Double, triple, etc. check those resistor values. Do you have a multimeter?

2) Check the continuity on your switches (also with a multimeter).
