The hand helds must have a subroutine counter program in them that every time a different pcm is recognized it counts off or maybe the hex code is used.
Once it acheives the threshold none of the "test" vehicles are locked out its just any new "test" vehicles.

Of course you need to put the "test" vehicle back to stock before switching to another.

Part of the reason I think that this was done is they didn't want them to be used as a scan tools. Which they can just like the gryphon.
