I guess I was wondering more along the lines of if the PCM had to be replaced because of a PATS issue rather then an emissions problem, if the 8/80K still applied or if the dealer could say "sorry, but it didn't fail because of an emissions problem, so the gov'ts emissions warrantee doesn't count"...
