Oh yes, this was done by the Toyota dealer before we got the car, so it's as factory as they do it here. I remember asking about the Camry style flick switch and they said something about not being able to do that as factory and they'd have to "put the cruise control in afterwards" so it could be an aftermarket one that Toyota uses.

OK - That is definitely an aftermarket system, so there is a module somewhere under the dash or under the hood that controls it.

Hello,

I just bought a 2011 Yaris, and was wondering if this mod is easily possible on that model as well, i.e., is the wiring present from the ECM to under the steering wheel ?

Thanks!

It is for sure for 2011 liftbacks, but Sedans are not as cut and dry. At least up to 2009, if the Sedan did not have the power package, then the wiring was installed from the ECM to a junction connector under the top of the dash, but not from there to the steering column.

The easiest thing to do is to pop the steering column cover and check for the blue and brown wires on connector D3.

sorry for reviving this thread. I was trying to do this on my Canada 07' Sedan. (I believe this is possible for Canada Yaris right?) But I hit problem when getting the wire from engine bay to interior using the rubber plug next to the ECM.
According to the posted manual, the plug is installed from the engine bay side and one can easily remove it. But on mine, the grommet plug seemed to be installed from the inside so I can't get it out from engine bay. And from the inside, the rubber plug is behind the carpet so I can't reach it either.

Can anyone show me where the grommet plug is from the inside? or is there any other place to get the wire in somewhere else? I'm a noob in car mods and in fact this is the first time I do things like this with a car. Please help! Thanks!

My full DIY for the OEM cruise stalk (link below) shows where the grommet comes through inside. To get to it you will either have to pull down the carpet a bit, or cut a little slit in it.

I have an 09 sedan! The wires are there under my steering wheel!
I will post pics tomorrow on the install......

Ok I have a 2007 Yaris four door. This looks like a cool mod but i do have one question. Do you not have to have the cruse control vacuum actuator to hold the throttle cable down when you hit the set button? Or is the computer using the throttle position sensor and locking the voltage in at that point? I hope this makes since.

Vacuum-based cruise control disappeared with cable throttles. The Yaris is drive-by-wire, where the accelerator is just an input the the ECM and it in turn drives the throttle motor. Because of this cruise control becomes a simple set of switch inputs to the ECM (ON/OFF, Set, etc.) and the ECM does all of the rest of the work.

So, for your 2007 (and any US/Canada Yaris 2006 to present) what is documented in this mod, or for a few more dollars adding the OEM stalk will give you cruise.

This DIY discusses the OEM stalk method. I carry all of the parts for doing that route for quite a bit less than dealer pricing.

That was so easy it's scary. Ten minutes tops. All parts ready at radio shack. 8 bucks.

Hey guys. I'm having some trouble with this. I have a 2009 5 door hatch back. I've located already done the whole install and according to what everyone has done, I've done the same. But for some reason it isn't working for me. I've even tried swithing the wires and still nothing. Any insight on this would be greatly appreciated.

ltlblkcar · 06-14-2014, 09:13 PM

Also tested for continuity on the switches aND connector. Everything checks out.

ltlblkcar · 06-15-2014, 12:41 AM

So I just wired the black wire from the d3 connector in with the red and blue wires. The horn when pushed turns on cc but the switch still doesn't do anything. Am I missing a ground or a power wire for this?

Post a picture of how you wired your switches and your connections to D3. It does sound like you have an issue, as the horn pad grounds to black wire to make the horn honk.

Here are the pictures of the wiring I've done.

Hope you don't mind a question from a non-Yaris owner?

Great thread! I imagined a ~$10 mod would look like it but it's every bit as aesthetic as functional. I installed an oem kit stalk and it's almost in the way compared to dash buttons.

The basic Scion TC "CRUISE" light does not have a "SET" indicator. Is it possible to add a single LED as a "SET" indicator without having to tap the CAN circuit?
