Cruise control install 2009 Yaris 3 door

[Midnight Drifter]

Is the Power Package now known as the Convenience Package on the 2K10 hatch? D:

I've got power windows, A/C, a CD player...

I did this on my base 2010 3door (manual locks and windows) and found all the necessary harness wires already in place.

I imagine you would have the same.

OK...here's my problem: 07 sedan, automatic, power windows, door locks & mirrors. Desperately need cruise! Ordered cruise stalk & cruise wiring harness plus ECM repair terminal (part # 82998-24250) and 2 spiral connector repair terminal (82998-12870) as I am lead to believe I need to run a wire from ECM to wheel as discussed in other discussions. I'm not overly comfortable doing this stuff so printed off forums, pictures, diagrams, etc. and dropped them off at my mechanic, who know what he is doing. He intalls cruise stalk and drills hole in wheel cover. I did order cover with cruise hole already in it but was shipped the one without the hole. Another whole long story I'll save for another time. Go to pick up the car and he says it doesn't work. He said there already was a wire at connector A21, pin 40. Is this possible? He also said he couldn't locate connector D3 under the steering wheel. I am lost!

I appreciate someone taking the time to take my hand and lead me through this. I have read and reread all the forums discussing installing cruise and STILL don't get it.

If the wire in pin 40 is blue, then I believe it (some 07-08 Yaris have the wire from there to connector AD4 (which is way up high under the dash, but not the wire from AD4 to D3). If it's not blue, then he is looking at the connector incorrectly.

As for D3, it is under the center of the steering column (he has to remove the lower steering column cover to see it). It is the White connector below, with the one black wire (which is what yours will look like).

Many thanks. Let's say he is looking at the connector correctly and the wire is blue...now what? How much of a PITA is it to get the wire from AD4 to D3?

Also, let's say there's a blue wire in pin 40...could it be removed and a new wire run directly to D3, bypassing AD4?

Can anybody help?

Getting to AD4 requires removing the top of the dash, so if there is a wire in pin 40, I would tap it and run to the steering column.

Scott..

Do we assume the conection between D3 and V1 are there?, have you ever checked your Yarris buggy/plow?

I just reced the OEM CC stalk I ordered and pissed that Toyota went to all of the troubole to have the ECU with the CC software installed, and harness fabed with all the interwire connects except D3 to AD4! Man I hate those guys at Toyota!..

P.S...Do we know the terminal specs or the termial size part# if I wanted to add the two connects to D3.. The terminals are very small and I have never seen this type at any local electronic store..

P.P.S.. Scott, have you ever take apart your gauge cluster too see if the electrical traces are there for the CC light indicator in hoping that all is needed is possible a inline resistor and/or SM led

Your sharing of information is much appreciated. Off I go to my mechanic with this information. I'll keep you posted. Thanks again!

Wait, so is it just plug and play or do you need to run wires to the ECU?

I don't quite understand what's going on here. ._.

I can't afford to buy something that doesn't work and/or screw up the installation. >.<

It depends on the year and if it is AT or MT, as to whether it is plug and play at the steering wheel, or if extra work is required:

That I understand, for the record I have a '10 LB Power Package, and I see the cruise light indicator on the dash when I shine a flashlight in the general area.

What I don't get is how do you wire the stalk itself? I don't see any connectors to plug the stalk into.

If you look at the 4th thread in the DIY, he shows the stalk installation. The connector that the stalk connects to is the same one that the horn is connected to. With no cruise, there is just one wire on that connector and with cruise there are three. The OEM cruse control switch wire replaces the existing one.

I'm guessing the cruise switch directs a certain level of feedback down the wire?

Well, either way, after my next payment, I'll save the paycheck after that to gather these parts. Can't wait to install it myself~!

Thanks, CTScott for your quick reply. I followed the link, and it is quite amazing to see such a product exists (donot know the price though). As there are differences between European models and American ones, regarding the mods to the car (to increase performance and stability), which one do you think is the most do-able ones? (rear-sway bar, SSK, strut bar...?). Thanks in advance.

All of the mechanical mods (sway bars, springs, etc.) are compatible between American and European Yaris.

[little_samba]

Regarding the SSK, how can I check if my Yaris 2009 is compatible?

Well yes, but those connectors are hidden by rubber. Unless you're doing something worthy of a Darwin award, they will not magically receive receive twelve volts of power. (Unless your engine is running, coasting downhill, and happen to be stopped by a wall. )


Indirect heat doesn't set them off, either. Mechanic cut a stripped torch off the airbag in my Sunfire. We all gleefully awaited a BANG in the waiting room. Alas, only a bill for a half hour's worth of labour.
