Guest highplainsrider Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 ECU reflash from 2WDynoworks disables AIS electronically and there's no need to use block off plates. Simple, effective, done.True, but that's not what he was asking......... It is not possible to turn off the check engine light on the standard ECU, as you are creating a genuine fault when you unplug the AIS. I have seen some resistor plugs that are designed to emulate the AIS connection, and plug into the loom. Or, you can get the ECU flashed........ (rofl) Installed the Graves block of plates on my 2015 FJ-09 while I am waiting for my Arrow Street Thunder exhaust to come in. I took it for a 100 mile and no check engine light. My ECU has not been flashed. Just an FYI for anyone else that is considering installing block off plates without an ECU flash. It doesn't appear to effect a stock bike in any way.

digitalcriminal Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 What if I like the sound of the popping/gurgling after install of my akro Ti exhaust. Will the noise cause any damage or issues? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adjuster Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 Buy three small rubber caps the right ID for the hoses. Remove the hoses and valve. Install the caps, one will go on the air box, other two on the "pipe" ends of the stock covers. Done, and you save like 90 bucks. Or just stick a marble in the hose, stick the hose back on the air box, and you are done. (Use anything that fits, and plugs the hose at the air box, and you are done.)

The Graves plates are $35 at Revzilla. But yeah, caps or marble will work too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shhhh you're putting graves out of business! Also it doesn't look as pretty, and over time those vacuum caps may dry out and crack, requiring you to buy more 30c vacuum caps!

Supporting Member piotrek Posted February 8, 2019 Supporting Member Share Posted February 8, 2019 Just going to add to this... while I wait for my exhaust to arrive, I decided to not take a chance and get block off plates from Vcyclenut (about the same money as Graves). I bench tested the air induction solenoid valve, and found that it is normally open, i.e. it passes air without power applied, or simply by just being disconnected. This means that when the tuner 'disables' (blocks) the AIS, they actually drive the ECU output high, energizing the solenoid and closing the valve. I am assuming these solenoids are rated for continuous duty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
