I was using a Range auto start/stop disabler on my 2018 Equinox. Took a rode trip right after I installed it, my transmission would not shift, basically stuck in a neutral state while on the interstate, started smelling real bad, burnt smell. Quickly pulled over at the next exit, turned the truck off, pulled out the Range disabler, everything worked great after that, haven't had an issue since...so yes any type of device in the OBDII port can screw with the ECM or TCM amongst other things as well.
