IAH solenoid removal

[Freightshaker]

I would like to remove the intake heater solenoid. I already pulled the positive cable to the heater, removed heater and ground. I figured I may just add the line side to the gpr. This leaves the three smaller wires. I would think one is ground, one is the positive when called for. Then there is the last small wire on the load side of the solenoid which is the feedback for the PCM. I assume that the load side PCM wire gets a resistor to ground? Is that the only one that does and the rest capped off?

When I ******d mine, I pulled the ground, and cut the hot wire back to the fender, capped and taped the ends. The little wires got the same treatment. No issues for 100k miles.

Wouldn't you have a soft code though?

I don't think so, but I've only had it scanned once. I think the only codes were overboosted and hop related.
Never had a ses light on the dash, other than a 1211 back before I swapped some parts.

Soft codes dont set cel or ses lights. Yes, iirc, my 02 threw a soft code after ******** the solenoid

No light, no problem!LOL

Mine has a soft code and all I have done is the heater. Solenoid and wires are still there
