They don't know the slope or your position since it's not based on GPS. What triggers that fault is acceleration of the engine rpm and it usually is triggered during a hard launch. This fault code has been around for a long time just search the B58 forums but in 5 years since I've seen the code posted no one has ever said it resulted in warranty denial for them.
