Yes, it would mean an ECU that has been tampered with would fail. It also means people can't just flash they car back to stock for the test and then right back to the illegal tune.



Odd that has never happened to me when I've failed a test. I don't think I even interacted with a human the last time I went to DEQ. They had a self service kiosk with a cord to plug into the OBDII.
My recollection was from some local PDX news story; probably among the last I ever watched over a decade ago.
