420A 2gNT Anyway to disable CEL from EGR blockoff?

[Dude3000zx]

Was wondering if anyones knew a way to disable the CEL while running a egr block off? I dont have a tuner device so i cant disable it in the ecu.

thanks

i dont know about n/t setups but with 4g63s i have always read about o2 simulators when any o2 sensor are removed. i just did a 3inch exhaust with out o2 and im still running cel. I just clear it out every day with a engine check tool. but i know there is a way to get it gone. have u searched this?

Im talking about the EGR valve not the o2 sensor, sorry

Did you disconnect the sensor completely?

take out the cluster and pull the bulb i know you can do that on 1gs but in not sure about 2gs

overboosted 1g, yes that will keep the light from annoying you or seeing a cel light up for sure. In fact, I had a bad coolant sensor and removed the light. However, for a cel if you wish to pass an inspecion, the car will be scanned and they will discover the issue and fail the car. IMHO, if you want to do this the right way, there isn't an easy way. You'll need a tuning device to get around this. Hope this answers the question.

Yeah i forgot about emissions since we don't have to pass any here in Michigan. Otherwise yes you are right and he will need some sort of tuning device to do this properly.

There have been talks about putting a resistor and bridging the two pins with it. Some have done it with no problems but eventually the computer figures it out and you get a cel. Nothing is going to be completely permanent unless you get a tuning device.

I read somewhere you could block off the EGR without the CEL coming on as long as you had the sensor still plugged in to the harness. I will try and hunt down that link.

buy dsm link... =)

I run my car with the EGR blocked off, and the sensor still installed. I get a check engine light about once every 2 weeks from it. I just reset the error code. But I live in michigan so I don't have emition regulators to deal with

I also just got ecmlink, so now I don't have to do it even every 2 weeks.


Anyway, keep the sensor plugged in and you should be fine!


Good Luck!

I know that you can turn it off with DSM Link. Other than that I dont know.
