Need to kill some lights Search is down right now, FYI. For you electrical whizzes, I need to kill my low oil and service engine lights. I am running a pan with no low oil sensor and tried a paper clip to jump the two pin sensor and that didn't do it. Also not running a knock sensor and I always get code 43, which illuminates the service engine light. I was wondering if there was a way to kill that code. I think I know which wire to ground for the ABS so good there and I think I am just gonna track down my air bag problem and keep them.

For the knock sensor, the pcm needs to see something like 4500 ohms to ground. The voltage on the sensor wire should be 2.5V.
