A new twist on how to deal with warranty service with a Derringer remaining installed:
I found this bypass plug in my Banks boxes - I'd never noticed it before. I called Banks to inquire about it, and was told that this plug is used to make the FRP/MAS connection cable undetectable by the OBDII dealer scans. If you unplug the Derringer unit (on the engine side, not the firewall side), this plug snaps right into place on the FRP/MAS cable and the Derringer, itself, can be completely removed. We'd still have to worry about physical detection of the cable if the engine cover was removed, but for some warranty items (fuel pump recall comes to mind) they wouldn't be working in the engine bay, let alone under the engine cover.
Obviously not as good as a complete removal of all parts, but it will stop the skinned knuckles from trying to wrestle those connections off of the engine.
Thoughts?
