Nothing has actually changed or been edited. However you now have an unauthorized flash. GM flashes=0 your ECM=1. What they are looking for is GM record of flashes=your ECM flashes.

I know this sucks. I can't tell you how many times I made changes and flashed my Impala SS, to make is better and was looking forward to doing the same with the Camaro. However, my SCT will be used for datalogging and checking/clearing codes, until I can afford to take on car payments and a major powertrain or drivetrain failure. For me the warranty is like insurance.

And to someones point. If you take your car in for the HVAC whining, it is HIGHLY unlikely they are going to check your flash counter.
AH.... Damn LOL :(
Well that seems to be a last word on the topic alright, thanks Indeed! I've been trying o get them to hear the tapping that happens sometimes on startup, so I better hold off on that tune :/
