Open the boot by lifting the tailgate and remove the central cover to access the underlying bolt. Now that you have done this, you can remove the inner panel of the tailgate by prising it away with your hands around the entire gap. At this point, unscrew the other accessible bolts clearly shown in the video, then remove the other internal cover located at the bottom above the centre high-level brake light.

Unscrew the two bolts that secure the brake light from behind and then push it slightly outward to extract it once the tailgate is lowered.

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.
