I had same problem but dealer didn't threaten me; I removed it and had my car performance tuned and that eliminated the CAGS without the resistor.
I recently purchased a CAGS eliminator from Mid America and installed it on my 2005 Z-51. Shortly afterwards, I got a check engine light so I took it to the dealer today. He said the CAGS eliminator was causing the light and said it could void my warranty if I put it on.
Anyone else ever had a problem like this?
thanks in advance,

Actually, you can save yourself the trouble of re-indexing the windows by not disconnecting the battery...disconnecting the battery is NOT NECESSARY for the eliminator install.
Service manuals always give you an obligitory warning to disconnect the battery WHENEVER you work on cars to keep you from causing shorts, blowing fuses, setting off air bags, or grounding the starter and causing the car to fall on you. The CAGS circuit is NOT energized during the eliminator install, and the PCM has no idea you're working on it. In this case, disconnecting the battery is a waste of time and makes more work for you.

was the resistor going borderline open-circuit.
