Check engine light
I read my codes and all but I was wondering if it's ok to leave the black connectors unplugged or do you have to have them together?

Re: Check engine light
When driving around normally you leave them unplugged.

Re: Check engine light
The black ones like I said correct? Because they were plugged in when I got under there

Re: Check engine light
There are two black ones under the dash. One set with a stripe and smaller connector, those stay plugged in. The all black ones stay unplugged.

Re: Check engine light
+1 and the ECU code-reading plugs should be just one wire on each connector. The other one is part of the seat belt lights and/or warning (I was just messing w/this last week!).

Is this why my seatbelt light has been flashing ever since my swap?wtdash wrote:The other one is part of the seat belt lights and/or warning (I was just messing w/this last week!).
