Default Has the computer been modified

I plan on buying a car from the dealer ( used corvette ), how do I find out if the warranty has been voided because of the computer modification.

Can I have the dealer do a check and get a report or is there a database I can have the vin compared with to determine its actual state.

Thanks,
Nick

I'm guessing that you're looking at either a used C6 or C7. If it's a C6, post a link to this topic on the C6 Scan & Tune forum. Those guys will know for sure how to check out the ECU to see if it's stock.

If you're interested in a used C7, check with the dealership to find out if they have scanned the ECU. If it's not a GM dealership, ask if you can have the ECU scanned at a Chevy dealership (on your dime).

Hope this helps.
