Alright well I need to do something for a solenoid inside my transmission and I was hoping somebody could help me.
This solenoid is inside of my transmission and it controls the hydraulic pressure bypass valve. I 100% no longer need this solenoid to function, so I want to disconnect it.
The problem is, if I just cut the wire going to this solenoid from my engine computer, the engine would see this as a fault in the circuit, and it would go into a "safe mode" and cause a check engine light.
The solenoid operates on 12v, and has a resistance of 3 ohms. How can I "trick" the engine computer into thinking that the solenoid is still there when I cut the wire in half? People have told me that all I need is a resistor on the engine computer side of the wire, and then ground it. Is this true?
Basically, I need to cut the wire going to the solenoid so that it gets no power, but make the engine computer still think there is a connection. Any ideas?
Here is a picture to help you understand:
Thanks in advance, guys!
