I started out unplugging that, works fine. Then I thought (since I tow a 5-10 times a year, what happens if I mess that little plug in up? I researched and to no avail, did not find the simple plug. I then concluded that should something run amuk, I'd have to possibly order a replacement harness. I then found that, the Eliminator that plugs into the obdii port was a great, put pricy option. Bought it and love it.

Why does unplugging the plug by the E-brake disable the A.S.S.? What does that wire control? Why (if it does) it disable the BMS?
Inquiring minds want to know!

I bought the S/S Eliminator today. With the sale price and forum discount it was only $76.50, worth every penny. I'm going to be adding a trailer brake control soon thought I may as well put the Eliminator in while I have things apart.

That’s not bad at all

could you point me in the direction on how to get the forum discount? Thanks!

I think the start-stop function can be turned off by programming BCM body computer.

I just read a post here about FORSCAN having to disable the Battery management system to disable the A.S.S. Sorry, no link.

FYI.... posted long ago. It is a listing/comparison of the various methods to disable or bypass the A.S.S feature. I don't think too much has changed since this was originally posted.... Chose the method which works best for you and enjoy no more A.S.S.

I just unplugged a little white connector just under the dash by driver side kick plate.I think it has four wires if I remember correctly.

AFAIK, it disables your trailer brakes and makes the truck think you have a trailer connected.
I bought my truck for towing, messing with this connector is not an option.

I like the auto stop eliminator. The A.S.S button still works, it no longer reactivates upon start up. This is the pigtail that goes in the dash behind the button. I have a HaulGauge in my OBD. Weighs truck, trailer, payload, and tongue weight.
