Video tutorial

In this video we see where the speed sensor that gives the P0500 error on the Toyota Yaris XP130 is located; to find it we need to remove the starter battery, and lean towards the bottom, until we identify a silver-colored circle, held by two cross screws.

This component is the main cause of the P0500 error, which indicates the malfunction of the vehicle's speed sensor, and provides information on the vehicle's speed to the speedometer, regulates the engine power to prevent wheel slippage, helps to maintain control of the vehicle in turns, manages gear changes based on speed for vehicles with automatic transmission, and regulates speed for the cruise control function.

The causes of the error are attributable to: damaged wiring, dirty or damaged sensor, faulty control module (this case is rather rare).
