Will it throw a code if radio/speedo/climate unconnected??

If I have the radio, climate control, and speedo removed from the car and start it up, will it throw a code?

I'm just trying to pull it into my garage and don't want to keep reinstalling/removing them every time I do this.

Thanks

There will be a code shown somewhere but it will probably go away after everything is put back and is operational again. The code may be stored but should not hurt anything.

OK... Just trying to save some time and avoid having to bring it to the dealer and pay them money (like what happens when you take the passenger seat out and then start the car). My dealer is 80 miles away, I have to be extra cautious

Thanks for the help

No I started it without the speedo and radio connected last week when I had everything apart and it was fine.
