Hi
That would not only create the problems you mentioned but throw an error
code, which may or may not go away. Some vehicles must go back to the
dealer to be reset or you can buy the tool. The vehicle also would not
pass an inspection on the SBDA until it relearned and stabilized again.
Yes it is scary. Right now the police are already able to execute
warrants on On-Star which allows for position updating in real time on
vehicles that they are watching. How simple for them.
MV content.....OnStar is not a factory option on a M35. :)

You could pull just one 5 amp fuse and it would never remember
anything. Only problem is that it will lose the adaptive tables used to
accommodate wear and component variability. This would mean that every
time you start the car, it would have to re-learn all of it. The newer
trannys would shift hard for a few miles, and emissions would be a
little high until that process completed.
Unfortunately, that fuse would not cover every module on the car, so
there could be data someplace that you don't want it, like the air bag
module, since they all talk to each other. Scary.
