Unplugging SAFC for warranty work??

[nazthug]

Ok, i am currently using an afc to tune my car

I have to go in for slight warranty work(none engine related) but want to get the afc out of the way anyways.

QUestion is, can i unplug it at the harness(goes from AFC to the wirring on the ECU)????

If i unplug that harness will everything be ok? Will it go back to stock settings? Keep afc settings? Not even run? Throw CEL?


The only wire that was actually modified was the airflow sensor, that had to be cut and wired through the afc, the other ones are just tapped for signal

So can i just unplug the afc harness and pull the afc out?

Or do i just have to hide it in the center consol somewhere, ....


Again, this isnt engine work so they wont even be looking or thinking about it, im going in for sunroof, door handle broken, antenna, and the clutch slave cylinder which is leaking, and maybe have them look into the valvetrain ticking noise on startup to see if they can fix that.

Let me know guys

I doubt it'll work since you won't have an air flow reading to the ecu. Like you said that wire is cut and looped through the afc back into the ecu. There's no place to hide it? Hide it behind the center console if you can.

i will if i have to, but if would be nice if i can unplug it, ...

if you unplug it it won't work, trust me, i had a short in mine, and mine would kick off while driving, car would barely run, 1, you can unplugg it, and you need to connect the airflow sensor wires again, or 2, you hide it, i would chose 2, and so what if they see it, it had no ill affects on the work you are getting done, and if they ask, just tell them its a 300 dollar a/f gauge.

Or just put a jumper between the two wires on the connector. My friend did that when his got jacked.

Hide it in your glovebox. There is a small hole on the left side of the 2G gloveboxes where you can feed it into your glovebox. Lock it up!

even better, i forgot about that, and they shouldn't need in to your glovebox for anything either
