This plug is specifically designed to eliminate check engine lights (CEL) caused by removing the factory electronic diverter valve when installing an aftermarket mechanical BOV.
Key Features:
-
Check Engine Light Prevention: Prevents false CELs when replacing the factory electronic BOV with a Turbosmart or other mechanical unit.
-
Plug-and-Play Installation: No cutting or splicing required – simply plug it in where the factory diverter valve connector was removed.
-
Reliable and Durable: Built to withstand engine bay conditions and ensure proper ECU communication.
-
Maintain OEM ECU Operation: Allows your ECU to function normally without triggering diagnostic trouble codes related to the diverter valve.
Why Use a CEL Plug?
When upgrading to a mechanical BOV, the ECU may detect the missing electronic diverter valve and trigger a fault code or warning light. The CEL plug tricks the ECU into thinking the factory valve is still present, ensuring smooth operation and no error messages on the dash.
Installation Notes:
Installation is fast and straightforward – unplug the OEM BOV connector and plug in the Turbosmart CEL plug. No special tools or tuning required.
