If you hear a noise coming from the wheel, especially with the wheels fully turned, it may indicate a failure of a driveshaft's CV joint: to resolve this, you must disassemble the driveshaft itself. Before raising the vehicle, it is advisable to remove the hub cap and loosen the driveshaft retaining nut. At this point, lift the vehicle, remove the wheel, and detach the retaining bolts of the driveshaft flange on the gearbox side.

Then, extract the CV joint from the gearbox side, and move the suspension to remove the other end at the wheel side.

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.
