Hi,
1 - Someone is hacking into my 2007 Accord and injects an error into my car's ECU making it display Check Engine light on, Is there a module that I can unplug to disable this feature?
2 - My Accord's Radio is making high pitch noise when I turn the Radio on, Is there a way to reset/disable this noise?
3 - Also, when i drive my car, it's kind of pinging, the car doesn't go smooth as I keep the gas pedal steady at curtain RPM, what could be the problem? I have been taking good care of my car on changing Engine's Oil, Transmission's Oil, Spark Plugs, Brakes...
Please tell me if anyone knows anything or suspect what could be the issue.
Thank you in advance for all of your contributions, advise.

Why are people spending valuable time/money/resources hacking you? Are you a James Bond spy, high profile tech CEO, or ambassador to a country? Do you steal company secrets? Did you discover cold fusion?
Isn't the most logical explanation that your gas cap is just loose or something, like all the other people on the road with check engine lights?
Well I never heard of anybody hacking in more often it's just your car is a problem and check engine light will come on. No ask for the radio if it really does make a lot of noise did usually means your alternator is going out and it's broadcasting noise. But if not you can get an inline noise filter to put on the power line to the radio that will get rid of that.
I would have to completely agree with @mmj. Yes there is news of new software issues and hacks and vulnerability but on someone's 15 year old car I just can't imagine someone doing this because I mean what's the benefit to them. With laptops or phones I can agree more because we all have something useful on them and all those bank information and apps, but not on an old car. Take it to a trusted independent mechanic and have them check what the light is because of (or scan it yourself if you have scan tool).
the ignition is turned ON ACC
Well when on accessory mode it's normal for the radio to still work; it's getting power to it.
No, even the engine is OFF, and the ignition is turned ON ACC, the radio still makes that noise.
Can someone install any kind of remote error injector in car just to mess around with ECU?
