10: 03-04 Vibe instrument clusters don't beep (only blink) when you unplug the drivers seatbelt while driving. 05+ clusters both blink & beep but have a feature that allows you to silence the beep (search forums for the how-to).
"For those asking about Vibe Stock 2025, planning is in progress! The dates are May 16th and May 17th. May 16th will be a Meet and Eat with the 17th being the main event. We wanted to have it a 2nd day as three attendees from last year drove over 800 miles one way! So having a time to chat with other Vibe owners is an added bonus.

1. My 2003 Vibe base under-hood fuse block includes a handy white fuse-puller stored just in the rectangular opening to the left of the 3 relays in the upper-right corner of Joatmon's photo. (It is missing in Joatmon's photo) 2. Once removed, I tested the gray Toyota A/C clutch relay by touching the two smaller silver contacts to a 9-volt battery.
The rear subframe for the 03-06 AWD Vibe/Matrix is the exact same as the below vehicles: 99-06 Celica GTS (must be GTS as that has independent rear suspension). Downfall of this, is it does not come with the differential mounting bracket. 03-06 Vibe/Matrix AWD 09-10 Vibe/Matrix AWD 09-10 Vibe/Matrix GT/XRS (maybe S model, but their equivalent ...
Clutch Replacement Hints by Vibenator » Thu Jun 03, 2010 12:27 pm I just finished installing a new flywheel, clutch disc, and pressure plate assembly in my seldom-driven 2003 Vibe GT. The infamous clutch was starting to slip noticeably at 28,000 miles. It was time for repair.
My First Vibe by ORNJxVYBE » Sun May 04, 2025 5:52 am Recently I purchased an 04 Vibe Base (1ZZ-FE). This is my first car and I don't have much experience working on cars so apologies if I am a tad slow on these things. I have been doing some research on my car ever since I got it about 3 days ago now.
Well Vibe lovers, this story has come to a conclusion. It took a lot of work on the car to figure out what it was but it was a bad front oxygen sensor. I have no idea why because the code was P0138 which is the code for the rear sensor but after much gnashing of teeth it has been solved and I hope this helps other people with this issue out there.
Re: Installing a factory Vibe roof rack on a Matrix by trb » Wed Jul 05, 2017 12:50 am I've seen roof racks on an 03-08 Matrix before, but they were just "U" shaped brackets that mounted to the roof, kind of like the 09-10 OEM Vibe racks on the AWD models. They went side to side, with nothing running front to back.
My Vibe (2003, with 97k miles) recently started throwing a CEL. It did it twice in the past month, where it went off within a couple of days. It did it a third time last weekend, and the CEL has stayed on since. I took it to AutoZone, and had them read the code - P0420 "Catalyst System Low Efficiency". No other codes came up, and there are no driveability issues. Fuel economy has not changed ...
