Does Chebosto's way disable the brake lights? And it does disable ABS right? I will try it tomorrow when it's light outside and post up what I find out.

 

Yup, very easy. Somenody's already done it; there's a DIY with pics in the interior/exterior mods section someplace; do a search. Also check out the VDC disable threads in the general section.

 

Well, what happened?

 

Does unplugging the grey cable in the engine bay take car of the fuel cut while braking problem?

 

bump on the fuel cut problem

 

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.

 

awsome info.

 

I know that this would take care of the fuel cut for the AT's but what about the MT's?
