Tried Chebosto's method today. Worked like a charm. I have an 03 5at touring w/ TCS only. Observations:
Everything discussed is disabled,
Lights on dash stay on,
Speedo does not work,
Odometer does not work,
Brake lights do work,
Can smoke tires all day long while holding brake. (so no fuel cut)
I also noticed a huge difference in braking control. They were alot "touchier". The gray plug in actually more of computer plug, much like the ecu plugs. It plugs left to right (not up and down) There is a black "swing latch" over it. To remove, push in on the gray notches and lift the black over them. (there are 2 notches, one at bottom of gray plug and and one at the top of the gray plug to keep black "swing latch" from loosening) It takes about 10 sec once the cover conceling that corner of the engine bay is removed.
Hope this helps. This should also be posted in the drag racing section for those who need to heat their tires.
