Fmic install help

Hey all, I'm gonna install a fmic. I'm to remove the grill shutters. Instructions call for the electrical plug for the shutter motor to be taped and zip tied out of the way. No problem. I have heard of cel being thrown with this situation. I have heard to take the motor from shutters, keep it connected to the electrical plug, and zip tie that whole contraption out of the way to avoid the cel. What have you guys done/experienced with this?
Thanks

No CEL with mine unplugged and ziptied for the past few months. I think it is a 'soft code' stating an AGS error.
