“if that “fixes” it and it passes the sniffer check, why swap it back again?”
Because aftermarket CC’s are crap and last maybe 5 or 10k before they are useless.
As for not being able to swap them or afford to swap them...that’s why the system actually ‘works’. But listening to the people on that forum, I suspect that most of them can change those parts out.
Texas has that,too? that’s disappointing to know. I thought they were one of the last few free places to live.
