Title: Useless plug?
Post by: scduc on June 05, 2010, 10:00:37 AM
08' S2R 1k. there is a plug that comes off the ECU which is about 3 inches long and is not being used (not plugged into another). What is this for? It shows on the parts print, but does not give a number or use.

I believe that's the comm plug for the test equipment.

Good thing I asked, cuz I was ready to cut it off. I  am trying to eliminate some of the "rats nest" wiring.

You can clean up the wiring by doing some consolidation/rerouting, but I'd refrain from chopping things up too much unless you have some experience with that sort of thing.

Good luck.

You enlist the aid of someone that has experience...

ask questions...

and learn.

that person had to "learn" from someone and then that person had to "learn" and so on

In the beginning

No I wasn't.  I just re-soldered what I realized later that I actually needed.
