AHC removal / delete experience (1 Viewer)

[2001LC]

If you're (anyone) remove any or all AHC components. I can use them?

I'm looking for all the wire harness housing (pig tails) blocks. i.e: For the pump. pressure sensor (both styles), temp sensor, high sensor(s), controller, accumulator, etc. Number one I need today, is for pump motor. I'm using these to make diagnostic tools.

I'm also looking for the AHC ECU (under dash near IG SW)?

Anyone, please PM if you can help. Thanks!

I recently removed all the hardware, the pump was the biggest headache. Got the one upper bolt loose and by the 2nd 1 I hooked a strap around it, laid the strap on the ground, drove forward over the strap and let the weight of the car do the work. Ripped the pump right out of the flange.

Just over 35kg of dead weight

Pump? Really? Pump removal from the engine bay is a snack. Maybe it was the Height Control Accumulator? Top bolts can be a PITA -- but the item is saleable if removed intact.

Forgive the ignorance, was the accumulator I was referring to.

But with that said, the pump wasn't all that easy either.

Glad its out!

Any uses for the components or should I just dump it? Sorry 2001LC, I'm in South Africa

No worries! BTW: That is the most aggressive removal, I've ever heard of.

I'm actually more in need of the AHC CPU, from under the dash. Also, wire housing plugs (housing blocks). They'd need clipped off wire harnesses of vehicle.

I want the plugs to make test leads. That way, I'd not have to use mirror to see attaching points or risk short with alligator clips.
The power to pump motor plug, I'd like 2 of. One as a short test lead. The other, as power jumper from battery.

Haha, no kidding. I was thinking the same thing. I sometimes forget how spoiled I am to have zero rust vehicles down here. 180k and mine looked like a showroom floor underneath.

After removal did any of you have rust issues on the frame? I want to keep my truck as long as I can
, just wondering if I'm down there anyways if there's anything to hold off any future rusting of the frame.
