I knew it!!!!!!

And the car wasn't on, the key was just turned so I could listen to the radio while I worked...at 1 in the morning
So far no codes thrown, but I'll check again after I drive it somewhere.

hence no codes thrown when the SJB takes a crapola after it gets wet and
corrodes causing all sorts of accessory function problems.
So dont worry about any DTCs being set and needing reseting.
I have had my SJB out so many times I dont even keep the
kick panel or door sill trim in place on the passengers side.
And I have NEVER thrown a DTC or Diagnostic Trouble Code.

Thats C2280 and it supplies all the switched, unswitched and protected
12VDC to the SJB from the BEC to be controlled by the SJB for the
various electrical items is sources.
SJB MODULE CONTROLLED FUNCTIONS
Unplug it and you can find out just what the SJB controls and what
it does not control really fast because you loose almost all of your
interior and exterior electrical items.

That activates the experimental VTEC system for our cars

Most people don't use it because it makes our exhaust sound weird.
