To reset the ECU of a Toyota Camry, open the hood to access the components inside the engine compartment. Near the left headlight, you will find the battery, which needs to be disconnected for a prolonged period to allow the ECU to reset itself.

After that, reconnect the battery and go inside the cabin, turning on the instrument cluster. This will allow you to verify that all settings and stored errors in the ECU have been reset.

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.
