It then set a code a couple hours later. Could the scan trip a code? All in all the car is great and I am very happy I went with the 2000 CSVT. don't know if the scan can trip a code, but I had a similar experience a couple of years ago. my car had been code-free, then took it in for its first emissions test, and a week later, it threw its first code, which was p0401. sounds like to me you got lucky, I just got my car tested last week and haven't had a light, but who knows - 95 Mystique LS - Zetec/5spd - 99 Contour SeVT Sport - Duratec/5spd Official NE-CEG Contour/Mustang Family

Yeah, one of the codes was DPFE hose off or plugged. Both hoses were connected. Carl 2000 Black CSVT #415 89 SHO (RIP) 75 280z
