Ok so I've searched but couldn't find an answer to this question. I have my boost control solenoid code (p1104) coming up and I need to get my car inspected. The problem is that I don't have a bcs to connect to just get it inspected. I have a manual bc so I don't need it but only to pass inspection.
Does anyone know if there is a way to trick the ecu into clearing the code? I posted in another thread that talked about using a resistor that Steve on here mentioned but he replied saying he didn't think it would work but he wasn't sure, so I decided to start a new thread to get a solid answer. Any help would be much appreciated.

could I wire a different better bcs that would get rid of the code? i have a 98 ecu that I plan on using ceddymods to control boost electronically. I can't remeber if he has that set up yet or when he will
 
The factory manual states the ECU must detect the solenoid's coil surge voltage (system voltage +2) when the solenoid is turned on/off. This is an induced voltage that only occurs in a coil (ie. inductor) like that in the BCS when current is turned off. Therefore a resistor would not work. You would need the BCS or a solenoid that has nearly the same inductance as the BCS. You could try wiring in another one of the other solenoid types that the engine uses (evap emission vent solenoid, fuel pressure solenoid valve, evap emission purge solenoid valve, egr solenoid valve) in the BCS's place. This would be a new/used one that you add - not changing any of the solenoids that are there. {Note: Relays are also coils but they don't have anywhere near the inductance a solenoid does which is needed here to induce the necessary voltage.}
 
as i have stated before "you are the man" LOL now just need to figure out this other fuse popping problem.
