Can I assume that this will work for the 09 Sedan also?
What dangers/issues do I need to be worried about doing this mod? I have wires running all over from the LED mods so I am not worried about the work, just warranty issues. Blue |

Just an FYI, the burden of proof is on the warranty provider to prove that any modification resulted in a failure of the component or part being warrantied. They can't deny a warrantly claim unless they can prove your modification caused whatever is broken.

Well, my base model sedan is different
I guess I am screwed on this fantastic inexpensive mod.
Here are the pics I just took of my steering column. As you can see, the brown and blue cables are missing.....so I think anyway. Can someone confirm? Circled the connector where I think the two additional cables should be: Picture from the bottom of the steering column... Blue |

As I understand it yes, the mod works for the 09 Sedan. Its just a matter of tapping into the two wires under the steering wheel and hooking them up to the four (or two if you prefer) switches with the resistors. With an 09 you dont need to be concerned with the ECM.

OK.
looking at the engine bay and now understand the diagrams.... Since it's too dark out and my wife's scion is in the garage, I will attempt this at a different date. Thank you all for your input...i hope this works. |

Where's the engine bay??
just kidding I have the factory cruise, but if I didn't, I'd probably try this mod. CT Scott is one of the best with electronics in this forum!!! |

And here I thought they ran by magic. Revsson, I am very fluent in sarcasm....... From all the posts I read, CT Scott knows his stuff. I now have to get the courage to mess with the ECM and get the cruise working. I am far more comfortable in a room full of servers, the car stuff is a little daunting, when dealing with an ECM! |

I had the Yaris out this weekend for a trip to upstate NY and back. (about 250 miles each way) So the CC mod got a good workout. It worked very well indeed! The car got just about 40 mpg when I set the speed on 70 mph. I did the four switch version which gives you plus one and minus one mph at the touch of a button. It came in very handy and I recommend going the four switch route if you install this mod. Getting the Radio Shack really mini switches made doing the four switch really easy...

Help with cruise control switches
I have been looking for a cruise control solution for a while, I am glad I found this thread
I have a 2007 Yaris 3dr Liftback with 5 spd MT, if I can't see the lit icons that you showed in the first few pictures does that mean I can't perform this DIY? |

It just means no indicator lights - the actual cruise will work fine, if properly connected.

351 to 426 ohms for the one between set and resume 819 to 1001 ohms for the one between set and cancel For the two switch method, the range for the resistor for the Set switch is from 567 Ohms to 690 Ohms. Any value in that range is fine. I would just stay at least 10 Ohms from either end point. For the clutch switch, that is correct that the 07 and 08's don't have the clutch cruise switch connector, so you do have to hardwire to connector in the under hood fuse panel. |
