Take out your service connector? what?

You can jump the connector and get your code - then reset your computer by pulling the 10A radio fuse. If your car is throwing a code and you don't fix the problem it will continue to throw the code, even after resetting the computer.

like wut cut the service connector im almost positive that it wont but i dont know for sure. whats the reason for this you want to sell your car? what the code anyways we might be able to help you out. you can pull the 10amp back up fuse it wil reset the ecu everytime you turn it on but if your obd2 youw ont be able to pass smog because the sensor wont complete well unless you throw the fuse back in and drive it around for a bit but the thing is i sitll dont get why you want to do this just fix your problem and move on. what happen if something was serious and you didn't know the problemt o it i dunno imo leave it and figure out the problem and fix it.

You need a manual.

I see from your other posts you now know what the codes are. So you'll need to figure out where those sensors are and get them fixed. If you had a manual you could test each one and work through them.

By 'taking out' the connector, I assume you mean cutting the wires, which would do nothing to turn the light off. The only way to turn the light off would be to remove the bulb or FIX the problems.

So, since you don't have a manual, why don't you search this site for information on each code.
