Follow the scenario.

John's car comes with ECM 1. John buys ECM 2.

John gets headers, exhaust, intake, and a tune on ECM 2. ECM 1 sits in the garage.

John needs to visit the dealer. John reinstalls ECM 1. ECM 2 sits in the garage.

ECM 1 came with the car. The dealer scans ECM 1. Will the dealer detect a problem with ECM 1 or the potentially warranty-voiding presence of ECM 2?
