That is a possibility as I probably only had 100 miles on the car since the chip was last out. However, the tech I talked to at the chip manufacturer indicated that having the chip in place would also defeat the EPA's ability to run the vehicles self test diagnostic. At this point, I don't know what the actual problem is as my vehicle shows no codes when scanned, but can't communicate with their machine. The only info I got from the test was my vehicle wouldn't pass the OBD test. I was hoping others could elaborate on their experiences to help figure it out.
