ABC message, way to Bypass?

Is there a way to completely keep this message from comming up? I want to turn it off for good and never have it reappear. Any help would be appreciated.

I know a Star diag machine will turn it off, but it will reappear when the computer senses the issue/s again.
Maybe someone else, who has more Star experience, can chime in to confirm....

I have gone to a coil over setup and I need to make the code go away completely as it will not let me read anything (including oil level). I hit reset 100 times but it will not go away after I turn the key on like it used to. I also tried the Dyno Function but it will not allow me to enter into that mode and turn all systems off.

You need to find an Indy with a Star diag machine.

If you remove both fuses you will get a ABC warning that will allow you to reset and operate the message center as usual.

I plan on keeping both these cars so I went ahead and ordered a STAR diagnostic unit. Once I get it I can put the fuses back in and try again.
