The Toyota Hi Lux, like other Toyota models, places the battery inside the cabin under the rear seats of the vehicle. To access the battery or other electronic components located under the rear bench, we must first move the seats forward and then lift the seat itself.

Once this is done, we can perform the desired maintenance. To position the seats as usual, we must lean them and push to lock them, then send the seats back.

In the case of other Toyota models on the market, the steps to be taken may vary, also due to the size of the vehicle and the design layout of the cabin.

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.
