How do you know the manufacturer-supplied module is doing the work it's supposed to without being able to verify it yourself? Boeing aircraft are having similar problems; if an industry that regulated is having issues, what is going to stop vehicle manufacturers from doing the same?

Give us the diagnostic tools and the parts. Operating with zero trust and verifying everything before and after install is the only way to be sure.
