I understand there is a connector that I can unplug out of the ABS unit so that the "check engine" light will not go off once I have pulled all the ABS fuses. Can someone take a look at this picture and tell me which plug it is?
Thanks abs1 \image {abs2}

Rob, disconnect the round power plug. The square connector is just sensor inputs.

If a leter OBD2 truck - there is no guarantee that disconnecting pump power will not trip the "check engine". Or, you can also pull the 40 amp maxifuse under the hood - that is the same as disconnecting the pump power connector.

If it's OBD2 it will trip the ABS light--at least it did on mine.

Bill,

So if I pull the ABS fuse under the hood I don't have to disconnect this plug?

Alan - ABS light will always be tripped - we're talking about "check engine"

Rob - yes - pull the 40 amp maxi-fuse

Yes, I should have been more clear by adding that the ABS light will be tripped---but not the check engine light.
