thank you Kymi, but I somehow have to dissagree about what is sent to the PCM, it may not be direct, but things like if the airbag deploys, doesnt that also effectively cut off fuel to the engine? That if the alarm is going off that it will kill the car after 30 seconds or so.

and good call about an ODBCII scanner to check some things. I do have an autotap, I didnt even think of trying that.
