>>All I want to know is, how do you disable them? <<
A new cottage industry that if it doesn’t arise I will start myself.
I knew nothing about them until a friend showed me his flash reprogrammer for his Suburban. He programs it to get better power and gas mileage, reflashes it to factory default for smog checks and then flashes it back. You just plug it into the diagnostic port and push a button. They are not cheap but there is a huge gray market out there for them for all vehicles. I know there are instructions out there now to disable EDRs and I expect a similar market will arise for reflashing devices.
