You will immediately notice when the fuel pump is not working, as the vehicle will stop and the engine will cut out after a few metres if you are driving. Unless it is a fuse problem, you will need to proceed with the removal as explained in this video.

Start by removing the rear seats, then open the insulation panels, access the tank, and next to it, you will find the fuel pump. All that remains is to disconnect the electrical power cables, unscrew the fastening pins, and extract it from its housing.

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.
