Video tutorial

The video shows the location and test of the fuse and relay of the starter motor of a Toyota Yaris: both are located in the engine compartment, inside the fuse box near the battery. The starter fuse (30A) is the third in a row. The starter relay is not labeled on the box, but is one of the four present, and the youtuber removed it to perform a direct test.

The test is done by connecting pins 3 and 5 with a tool and activating the starter motor: pin 3 receives current from the fuse, the central pin goes directly to the starter motor. This way we can verify the functioning of the electrical components that control the starting of the car.

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.
