    The Scangauge is just an OBD2 reader/reset device. There are hundreds of different manufactured models with varying capabilities on the market. If a Toyota tried this (they wouldn't), then all warranties on all cars made since 1996 would be void by the same set of considerations. If you're actually concerned about this, just unplug the Scangauge whenever you take your car in for service.

    There has been one incident where the Scangauge was blamed for a failure in the electronics. The Scangauge manufacturer immediately contacted the dealer and "reasoned" with them. The dealer backed down. They didn't want to be embarrassed in court!
