Has the dealer upgraded my ECU software?

My car recently went to Aston Martin to programme the wing mirror power function when locking car.

I have even noticed the window drop when I open and close the door operates faster now when before it was a fraction slower.

A day afterwards the Emissions light came on. I tried plugging in my generic OBD sensor which works great on my BMW and the Aston before I gave it in and it fails to connect???

Is the ECU locked with the dealer upgrading the s/w or something?

I mean to say OBD Reader not sensor. I plugged it in securely to the plug under the dash.

There's one for body and another for engine. Did you plug in to the correct one?

I must have programmed 60 or 70 cars by now and sometimes I still plug into the wrong one!
