Default Having Pass side dp replaced under warranty (P0421)....Are they going to reflash the ECU?....

I read somewhere in the archives that there is a TSB for the P0421 efficiency code that involves a reflash. the dealer has said nothing about it---only about replacing the part. The issue is that I don't want them reflashing my AMS box, but I don't want to tell them I'm chipped. I can swap the original back in, just don't want to mess with it if I don't have to.

Default why even take a chance? Take the 10 minutes and install the original ecu. No brainer.

imagine voiding your warranty over 10 minutes of swapping boxes?
