884 or 8.8 K? We cant calculate the voltage drop without knowing the current flowing thru the resistor. 1K seems reasonable to spoof the ECM, however 10K would probably appear as an open to the ecm. If you leave it totally open does it toss a code? Is the resistor totally needed to prevent it from setting a code?

Just thinking out loud.

We shall see.


Interesting stuff. Thanks.

Cheers

Mike.
Is the resistor needed? Good question! I have no idea, lol. I can tell you that with my accidental solder bridge, it would set the light after two startups. But then I never tried leaving the switch on with the resistor so I can't say it wouldn't do it also.

I think if you measure the resistance in the sensor, orange wire to yellow, it should be pretty close to the jumper resistance. Voltage divider says for 3.1v to go down to 2.1 with one resistor at 884 ohms, the other one must be around 450. If I recall correctly, I did measure that sensor resistance and it was somewhere around there.

I can say that for those of you that just want DoD off, jump the orange wire straight to the yellow, start it up a couple times till you get a light, remove jumper and reconnect sensor. DoD is now off.

OH, thats neat, I know most cars go into a safety mode and shift for you to protect it self

DoD does not come on while shifter is in 3rd gear for my car. Only comes on in D for me.

Default Write up ...... Write up!

I am not a genius when it comes to wiring but would love to see a detailed write up on this.
