Power Steering Questions


MEP's Yaris GS

Recommended Posts

Hi all.

We've a 2001 Yaris GS (which just so happens to be 8 years old today :lol: )

It's got hydraulic power steering.

I went to a scrappy yesterday and managed to get (out of a French built, pre-faclift) power steering ECU. Is this a spare I'll need that will work on my Yaris or did later ones have Electronic powersteering? Not sure if the hydraulics are electronically controlled or not :unsure:

All the best.

Jon.

I was under the assumption that only the T Sport has hydraulic power steering and the other models have electric power steering (from 2003)

the yaris if fitted with power steering comes either with electronic or hydraulic, i think mainly the French built ones are electronic?

Many thanks people. Will confirm that our Jap one is hydrulic then (as I thought), and why this French one had an Electronic power steering ECU then.

Think I'll eBay the powersteering ECU then as it'll be of no use for us on our Yaris.
