You pop off the big connector on the SBS controller, and this plugs in it's
place while you do the brake fluid flush.

On Gen 1/2 cars, the controller is directly behind the left
headlight.....but the battery is on the right side. Honestly, I forgot where
the ABS controller is on a Gen 3!!

Where exactly do you plug in it? I don't know where the ABS controller is
located. Is something disconnected first or is there an available plug for
it?
I'm guessing that you don't leave it connected all the time. Please excuse
my
ignorance.
