I had shared this on another thread but wanted to make a separate one to ensure this got the right kind of attention & focus.
We are seeing some examples of owners coming back reporting that Honda can pick up vehicle PCM history, regardless of whether the ECU is returned to factory state. It should be emphasized that in all cases, Honda ended up doing an in-depth diagnosis to read live data. And I'm not sure exactly what gets stored there beyond over-rev events.
Bottom line: If Honda suspects foul play involved, the burden of proof is going to be on the owner. There have been a lot of observations, stories, and testimonials that certain mods cannot be detected (or can). But no one has a scientific, definitive answer as to what data gets captured and where. Always best to assume that Honda knows exactly what you've done to your car and when.
If considering any mod, always ask yourself the following questions:

If considering any mod, always ask yourself the following questions:
- Could the mod possibly cause something to fail under warranty that I can't afford?
- Do I fully understand what the mod is doing to my car?
- Do I need to modify my maintenance schedule as a result of operating at a higher level?
