No it will not have any effects on the car performance. I have even went as far as to change the number of ropes I was monitoring when I had an issue with a sensor. Took a 6 rope, told it we only had 5 ropes, until I could run and grab a new sensor, car ran flawlessly.
Let me know what you come up with on the monitor. Do not have any experience with the quantum, we typically use the accord drive. I just remembered a bunch of field notes on the god awful software versions and how most of the early ones pretty much were steering us in a polar opposite direction from the true issue.
