Considering a 2015 LR4 located in Denver, vehicle now at 99K miles.
CarFax shows engine/powertrain computer/module reprogrammed at 15K, 36K, 48K and 64K miles.
Always done at a dealership and appears to be associated with routine maintenance - but ???

Is this a warning sign or is this a Denver thing due to the elevation?

I already have two LR4's so pretty clear on the obvious issues.
IF I take a look at it, what should I be looking at with the IID Tool??
Thanks!

That sounds like oil change intervals to me, maybe they wrote that in instead of "reset service engine light" or something. And if that was oil change intervals... yikes.

My guess it was in for routine transmission oil changes, and some service books only recommends reflashing the transmission after servicing (oil changes, filter changes, servicing the valves, complete replacement, etc...) the transmission.
