It will be possible to replace the camshaft sensor of the Mercedes E-Class by opening the hood to access the internal components of the engine compartment. Here, you can proceed by removing the cover at the top of the engine block and then also removing the pulley that controls the movement of the camshaft.

Once the pulley is removed, you will be able to locate the sensor at its rear: you will need to disconnect it and then insert the new replacement part. After that, you will need to reassemble all the necessary components, ensuring that everything functions correctly.

How to Activate the Disabled TRC on the Toyota Yaris?

As the video clearly shows, disabling or activating the traction control (TRC or ESP) on the Toyota Yaris is very simple. By default, the traction system activates every time the vehicle is started. To disable it, simply press the button depicting a skidding car located in the centre of the vehicle where the controls are, such as the hazard lights and the radio, but near the handbrake. Once disabled, the TRC off light will illuminate on the dashboard. To reactivate it, just press the same button again.
