second; yes they can tell as I believe the ignition count resets to 0 when you flash the ECU. It's also the first thing they will check being that it's an engine failure. third; even if they somehow miss that it was flashed, any competent tech can tell when bolts are removed/replaced for the most common mods. they'll see the nicks from the socket, or if you put new ones on, they'll see that they're too new for the age of the car. bring it in, and see what happens; don't offer anymore information than they ask you.

Or you can pretend to be responsible, and own up to what you did.

Wrong thread, should be in electrical since you don't appear to have a warranty denial.

Name: Josh
Make: 2017 Subaru WRX Mileage:18000 Time Out Of Use:5 days Problem And Likely Cause:AC compressor failure, no cause given Modifications:All cosmetic at this point, Nameless Axle Back. Submitted For Warranty Work (Yes/No):Yes Reason Given For Denial:None Your Story: Bought the car in July. About 2 weeks ago, the AC stopped getting cold. Cooled intermittently. Scheduled service, dropped it off Friday. I asked for a loaner if the repairs were going to take a while. Service manager walked out, started it, ran the AC, said "You're getting a loaner". Since it was the Friday before a holiday, they couldn't order anything until today. I'm expecting the car back on Thursday/Friday. They gave me no issue at all with the warranty. Said "Don't worry about it, it's all covered. Now try to sell your wife this new Outback when you get home..." The last Dealer I spoke to wasn't so decent. Seemed pretty shady. Talked about co-pays, tried to get me to trade in a car I just bought, etc. And I was just picking up clips I ordered from SOA. |

Name: Ty
Make: 2019 Subaru STI limited Mileage: 269 Time Out Of Use: 6 days and counting Problem And Likely Cause: presumed to be a fried ECM, no cause given Modifications: Tints Submitted For Warranty Work (Yes/No):Yes Reason Given For Denial: Appeared to be tampered with, ECM doesn't fry on it own Your Story: I get in my car (after letting it sit for 6 days), and attempt to go to work. I noticed all the lights on the dash are on, blinking, and something isn't right. I turn it off, thinking it needed to be reset, I unplug the battery, and the car hasn't cut back on since. I get it towed to the dealer. They said its a hole in the firewall grommet, and 3 copper strands in the fuse box under the hood. The dealer say it appears as the car's electrical systems have been tampered with, there for it will not be covered. I am blown. |

That's ridiculous.
I would go to another dealership or try SOA. |

I would guess paid out of pocket for the repairs. Other thread poster has up noted that they had run cabling for aftermarket stereo equipment:

Engine Wiring Harness
Name: Adam
Make: 2017 WRX 6MT Mileage: 40,385miles (65,000km) Time Out Of Use: 1 month, and counting Problem And Likely Cause: 24020AG430 wiring harness failed between connectors E3 and E158, failed while vehicle in operation. immobilizer freaked out, forced car out of gear and stall after stopped. Modifications: fluids Submitted For Warranty Work (Yes/No): Yes Reason Given For Denial: past 60,000km warranty, Subaru Canada doesn't consider the engine wiring harness as part of the 100,000km power-train warranty. refuses to admit the wiring harness is defective, and refuses to cover it under good will warranty. Your Story: Driving to a job one day and the car slowly starts revving up but i'm slowly going slower (was in neutral), so I put the car in neutral, and then back into gear but it still revved without doing anything. I was going around 80 km/h, and had to pull off into a exit lane into a line of traffic. I was thinking to myself it might have been the clutch (no reason other than symptoms) the car stalled, I tried putting it into neutral and starting it again, it started and stalled out of idle immediately. tried once more and put it into neutral, and pushed it across 3 lanes and onto a less busy side road. got it towed. problem is the wiring harness failed, the diagnostic code is B1578, no continuity between connectors E3 and E158. the new part number is different than the installed part, it was "superseded", and the new part has a technical service bulletin regarding water ingress caused failure. The dealership told me I'd need to replace the high pressure fuel lines if they needed to be removed, because they aren't reusable. (I don't understand why the Assenmacher AH8028 fuel line disconnect exists then). I ordered the new part (24020AG431) from another country (USA) at a significant discount (from a Subaru dealership), and I'm not sure if I'll have the dealership do it (at 2.5-3 hours shop labour) or do it myself with a friend (over-qualified, but not used to working on a Subaru). I've never done a engine wiring harness in a Subaru flat engine, and from inspection there is a LOT of a insulating foam between the block and the intake manifold on the drivers side and the wiring harness is smack dab under it. I've got some time before the part comes in, once I get the repair done i'm definitely going to be keeping the old harness and checking that out. |

Switch stop lamp fix?
Name: Loc
Make: 2009 Subaru WRX hatchback Mileage: 156k Time Out Of Use: few days Problem And Likely Cause: the Hill Assist and Traction Control dash lights are on (disabled) Modifications: none, stock Submitted For Warranty Work (Yes/No): no, out of warranty Reason Given For Denial: n/a Your Story: I had a steering rack failed. It was the original OEM part. I bought the car brand new. Since it was out of warranty, I took it to a local (non Subaru shop) to have the part replaced. That shop installed an aftermarket, rebuilt rack made by Magna or Dana or something that "would fit" Subarus. After 2 subsequent failures of these rebuilt racks, that shop ordered an OEM Subaru rack from my dealership. Had it installed, and everything worked. Then those dash lights appeared, and they could not diagnose the problem or the fix. I saw on YouTube where a guy fixed this Hill Assist/Traction Control/ABS disabled with dash lights issue by replacing a $12 part called the Switch Stop Lamp which goes under the steering column. I suggested to their shop mgr that that was the issue. They bought the new part, installed, and those lights disappeared...it seemed to have fixed the issue. Fast forward to a few weeks ago. My A/C failed, and required replacing the Expansion Value and Evaporator. My dealership performed that repair, and A/C worked again (yay!). However, 3 days later, the Hill Assist and Traction Control lights came back on I took it in thinking something that they did for the A/C repair caused that. They indicated that their technician read the code, and then reset something regarding steering imbalance. No new part was needed mind you, and they charged $150 for labor?? Picked up the car and everything was fine for 2 days. The lights have reappeared?? I'm going to bring it back in of course, but is it possible that this is steering rack related? HELP PLEASE. |

Name: Lee
Make: 2019 WRX Base Mileage: 4500 Time Out Of Use: N/A Problem And Likely Cause: Dash lighting up like a Christmas Tree Modifications: IAG AOS, Grimmspeed TMIC, Perrin 3" Turbo Inlet Hose, Pitch Stop Mount, Perrin Charge Pipe Kit, LED lights front/rear Submitted For Warranty Work (Yes/No): Yes Reason Given For Denial: ECU has been flashed Your Story: 1) My car has 4500 original miles on it and I'm the first/original owner. The ECU has never been flashed and the only upgrades I've made to the vehicle are See Abobe---nothing electronic and no performance tuning. 2) I had a Pioneer AVIC8500 installed professionally a week ago. The night I drove it home---no issues 3) The next night, I had a check engine light. Code P0245---cleared it with the HU and thought it's probably an error. (P0245 is an OBD-II generic code that the engine control module (ECM) detected the turbocharger wastegate solenoid A input circuit low is below specifications, indicating a short in the solenoid or wiring) 4) Next morning on the way in to work (about 30 miles) the Check Engine Light/Hill Assist/ABS/Traction Control were all illuminated, the cruise control symbol was flashing and the cruise control was inoperable. 5) I took it back to the installer and after 2 days they said it was wired correctly. 6) I took it to Subaru today under warranty and they verified that the turbo wastegate solenoid was indeed what was causing the Check Engine Light to illuminate. However, since they showed that the ECU had been flashed, the car was no longer under warranty and they would not even begin to look at the other issues. |

Dealer came back and said they made a mistake and the car is covered under warranty because the ECU has not been flashed!!
