I also believe a company should have the right to cancel my warranty if I repair my "thing" (whatever it is). I see no reason companies should be burned with fixing things that go wrong because someone opened a device and didn't know what they were doing.
This applies to Cell Phones, Appliances, Automobiles, etc. If I buy it is mine. If I want to keep the warranty in effect, I have to let the company repair it.
A side question is - is the company obligated to provide diagnostic data to customers. This includes those "codes" the car's computers spew when something is wrong. If you don't know the code, it is hard to fix it.
Your thoughts?

Let common sent prevail if it’s a vehicle under warranty just take it to an authorized repair facility
OBD diagnostic readers are available thru Amazon or Auto Parts store starting @ $25. Then you will need to interpret diagnosis purchase the part and figure out where it goes and probably return to TOTV and ask for help
