It won't throw a code, I don't think. I am curious as to why you'd want to do this, though, it's not a very safe thing to do.
If you tell us it's to install an auto-start, and it's a manual, then please, for the love of your fellow man, or at least your car, don't do it. Some guy did it, and wound up having the dealership 'start' it into a lake when it went in for service.
On the how, not gonna tell you. I don't think it safe, regardless of your reasons. It's there to protect you, everyone else, and the car.
/And that's all I got to say, off the soapbox now.

Just like this or atleast that is how it is done on the fox. Make a jumper wire with two spades to plug into the switch...I would advise just like the others against this. You can get a remote starter for manuals that will not allow the car to start if it is gear. bypassing it w/o some kinda safety net isn't going to end well one day jsut like the others stated.
