Why do some Yaris sedans have a tach? - Page 2 - Toyota Yaris Forums

Yaris Hilton · 06-15-2010, 08:05 PM

There have been other threads about changing out speedometers. The mileage seems to be stored in there, not in the ECU.

Like YarisHilton mentioned above, the odometer readings are stored in the cluster, not in the ECM (the car's main computer).

Once again good looking to Yaris Hilton & to CT this info has been positive all around, and to rest who commented to this quest for the tach question, thank you. I will buy it anyway and send out the out come, with extra info. Holla at your boy in PR.

The MT liftback, on the other hand, doesn't.

My 07 Sedan has no tach and no power package. My 08 Sedan has a tach and the power package. Does your Yaris have cruise control? If it does, is it the OEM cruise or the Rostra Cruise.

I assume yours is an automatic? I'm pretty positive that ALL Manual SEDANS have a tach.

And no, I don't have cruise. Factory installed cruise only comes with the power package.

No. Tachs came with S packages or power packages. Sedan or LB.

Anyone have a manual sedan without a tach?

There were many threads about this back in 2007. A lot of MT folks were on here complaining that their MT didn't have a tach when the automatic's did.

I have the 07 Sedan, but mine was the power package and came with the tach.

sickpuppy1 · 06-19-2010, 12:54 PM

2010 sedan w/power package and an automatic and tach. While I dont need it, I like it. Helps me control gas pedal/shift points when I'm in gas saving mode, which is most of the time. And I agree, again while not a necessity for a manual, I wouldnt want one without it and it should be standard for a manual no matter what trim level or package you have. Dumb move on toyota's part. Cutting cost and a way to drive up package sales probably.

Yaris Hilton · 06-19-2010, 01:24 PM

Probably mainly aimed at pushing package sales.

Yeah I have no doubt. Lame.

Reeves360 · 07-28-2010, 03:38 AM

The correct answer is with a MANUAL sedan you only get a tac if you purchase the power package. You also get a dimming dome light, because of this the dealer will state you can't install an OEM alarm, untrue.

I wanted a 5 speed sedan with power package and keyless entry but was told I could NOT have this because of the tac. The dimming dome light tricks the alarm into thinking a door is still open for about 7 seconds.

It's not the correct answer. I have a tach and dimmer but NO power package.

However, mine is an "S".

Oooo, low blow. I think that going to hurt in morning folks.

The car has that worthless gimmick Tire Pressure
Monitoring System which is complete and total bullsh!t.

This is SO true!...I had 4 nails in my rear passenger tire and the PSI was 13 and the TPMS did not come on to tell me this, I just happened to gas up and and thought I should check the air in my tires then I realized I must have a nail in my tire, couldn't believe I had 4! Guess, its time to purchase some new tires!

As for the tach, I was told when purchasing my HB (auto) that it comes with a tach as part of the power package.
