Thats pin 15 on the 32pin connector. If it needs earthing, take a wire tap from any of the ground signals on the 31pin connector.
I would imagine once this is done it is permanently disabled. Probably an insurance void problem then!

According to Spoon your immobiliser will still work , just the fuel pump wont be immobilised when you set the alarm. This is why the guys in the US got nothing when they plugged it in as they Fuel pump wouldnt run.
No big issue , you still can lock / arlarm the car

Scotchlocks are a bodge IMO. Solder it to be sure!
Soldered connections are vulnerable to failure through vibration. While Scotchlocks aren't a great solution, a properly crimped connection is much better than a soldered joint for car use.

Loads on the ECU board itself. I take your point but myslef and a number of others had probs with them on previous cars. A lot of probs on the US side of the board with wiring of Vortech / comptech black boxes too.
While a soldered joint isnt flexible, I would worry if it there was excessive wire vibration at the ECU. But we can disagree I guess!
Maybe its because I just bought a a nice soldering iron and am biased

If you're making up an ECU connector or any wiring like that though, crimp it. If you find any datalogging, or ecu equipment that suggests soldering such connections I'd be very surprised.
I'm not anti-soldering by any means. But for loom connections, it comes a very poor second from a crimped connection.
