I don't have the CarPro scanner, the check engine light is currently my only method of failure reporting. Right now, the light is already on. It does not go off without being manually reset.

We didn't watch it happen. It was done however your average state inspection place does it. We didn't get any numbers, we just got a piece of paper indicating that it passed the state inspection threshold (which I am told is somewhat lower than the check engine light threshold.)
