About the service
What is it and how does it work?
Fault codes (DTCs) are codes the ECU stores when it detects a problem in a system, and they often come with a warning light. When a system is deliberately removed, replaced or not used in a project, the related fault code keeps coming back; the warning light stays on and in some cases the car reduces power.
In fault code disabling, only the specified codes are disabled in the ECU software; all other fault monitoring keeps working. That way, the ECU will still warn you if a genuine fault occurs.
Disabling a fault code is not a repair. Before the work, we identify the cause of the code with diagnostics; we don’t do this to hide a genuine fault that affects engine health. Faults in safety systems such as airbags, ABS and ESP should not be disabled — they should be repaired.
Benefits
What do you gain?
- Get rid of a permanently lit warning light
- Removes power restrictions caused by a fault code
- Only the selected codes are disabled; all other monitoring keeps working
- A clean, trouble-free ECU on project cars
Process
How is it done?
-
01
Step 01
All fault memory entries are read with diagnostics and their causes identified.
-
02
Step 02
We clearly explain which codes can be disabled and which faults need repairing.
-
03
Step 03
The original software is backed up; the selected codes are disabled in the software.
-

Can you disable any fault code?
Technically, many codes can be disabled; however, we don’t disable codes that indicate a real fault and affect the engine or driving safety. We find the cause first and, if a repair is needed, we tell you.
What is the difference between clearing the fault memory and disabling a code?
Clearing the fault memory is temporary; if the problem persists, the code soon comes back. Disabling a code is permanent, because it switches off the relevant monitoring in the software.
