Vehicle Speed Sensor - Toyota Yaris Forums

Sounds simple enough - I replace the MAF sensor a while back on my old Echo, so sounds like it would be a similar kind of job.

Problem is I'm fairly unfamiliar with what I unfamiliar with what I'm looking for (and to be honest, when you're talking about differential area where the axels come out, I don't know what that is.)

Any advice on where I could find a diagram to show where to look? I've tried finding youtube videos for a yaris and no luck. Found a number for other vehicles, but the sensor could be in completely different places from what I've read.

It is right on top of the tranny, directly under the battery. It is mounted with a single 10mm head bolt and it looks like this:

So I think I've found it. Was fun figuring out how to get the air box off, but got it off without breaking anything. (Thanks for not laughing

)

But I'm not sure I'm at the right place. Would it be the one attached to these grey connectors?

Or am I too far to the front of the car?

Pretty sure those aren't the right ones from the description.

Trying to get under the battery - have the bolts out from the battery platform, but I can't get it out because the cables are stuck to the vertical metal piece that helps hold the battery in place.

So close, but so far! Any advice on how to get the battery housing out?

Found it! (not in the same place as the 07... sigh.)

Got the bolt off and the bastard is stuck...
