These compact crossovers were produced starting in 2002 at a California plant operated by a joint venture between General Motors and Toyota (NUMMI). Built on the Toyota Corolla platform, the two vehicles feature distinct styling while remaining mechanically identical. This article provides detailed fuse box diagrams and relay layouts for the first-generation Toyota Matrix and Pontiac Vibe (E130 chassis) for model years 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, and 2007.
Below you will find the locations, photos, and circuit assignments for the power distribution boxes. Specific callouts are included for key components, such as the cigarette lighter fuse and the fuel pump relay.
