Right.

If you might ever consider running it again, disconnect and plug the hoses at the same time. Otherwise, back-flow into the pump will seize it up (go ahead, ask how I know this).

The SES light never came on. The ECM sends voltage signals to the diverter valve but doesn't care if they're received.

I took it off when I did the mods in the sig (it was pretty much stock before). Mostly because I had to change the direction of the driver's side check valve, and I was too lazy to do it at the time.

I put it back on when it was due for emissions testing/inspection again. I had gone through that the morning I started disassembling for the mods, so it was due 2 years later. I've just left it on and running since then.
