2014 LE hatchback

Hey all, 1st post, and glad to be here.

I have an issue with the low beam being used for the DRL. I can either unplug the DRL relay, but would prefer to switch it to the parking light (orange one) Any tips on how to make this happen??
Thanks in advance all!

These types of posts are like a Bat Signal to CT Scott...he's the resident engineering guru and should be able to help...

I am wondering if it would not be in the steering column by the relay for the DRL??

[RWJC]

CTScott, any ideas Sir??

I am in Germany on business and don't have the wiring diagrams with me.

[RWJC]

ok, have a safe trip..see ya when you get back..

Looking at the wiring diagrams for the 2012+ liftback, the DRL is far more integrated than it was for the 2nd gen Yaris.

For the 3rd gen the body ECU commands the module via the green wire. The DRL module is the direct output to the low beams, so pulling the module would eliminate low beams (unless you then jumped the black wire in pin 1 and the red wire in pin 5 to the black wire in pin 6 to bypass it).

If you really want to drive something else as the DRLs I would recommend trying the snipping of the green wire and if indeed that turns off the DRLs, then I would feed the other thing chosen as DRL from an ignition switched power feed.

Thanks CT, may try that this wknd. I'll reply back when I have completed it!

OK, so I have not yet gotten around to the wiring, but I needed tires. He had some 16 & 17", but they were not a good fit/look for what I wanted. I did find some 18s that with a 215-35/18 on them were almost dead on with the stock size. I have full clearance, no offset needed, and looks good.

COST FROM PEPBOY'S, CUSTOM MADE $87

seat of the pant test, good gain in pickup an hp, MPG improved.

Using a Spectre Cone filter, 6.5"w x 7.5"l





removed all stock parts except oil breather line & MAF sensor which is new.

Removed battery for 5 min to reset ECM.

Check engine light will come on if I rev it sitting still, but as of now, has not done while driving. The throttle mech seems to be almost completely electric..??

MAYBE TOO much air??

leak check in the morning..

What size MAF tube did you get? Possibly i am mistaken but did you say you bought a new MAF? From the threads on here, too large a MAF tube will throw a code, that's possibly what's causing yours.

I just saw you pass by the Giles dealership in Lafayette! So cool to see another Yaris world member in LA!

Sorry for the unrelated post!

I'm not a big fan of chrome on these cars, but your wheels look sharp.

3" vs a 2.5 in I think...
