Video tutorial

In this video, you can see that the MAP sensor on this Renault Clio IV was faulty, as it measured 40°C when the reading was clearly incorrect. Unfortunately, accessing this sensor is not easy; you need to remove the intake hose that connects to the throttle body, and there is not much space to work here.

Finally, we found the sensor and identified its code number, which is 0281006029; disconnect the electrical connector, and keep in mind that if the sensor does not work, the throttle body will not function either. Now, continue with a multimeter to check the functionality of the various pins of the sensor, and the result is that the sensor is not working, so you need to replace it. However, checking the data on the EOBD port, there are no stored codes, so the fault may also be with the other sensor, which has the code 0291002997. This sensor, however, works normally.

The sensor to be replaced, given the code indication, can be easily found on any e-commerce spare parts site, even used and at a good price.

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.
