Took the pilot for an Emissions check. This was a OBD based check.... pilot passed the test.
But on the way back the check engine light came on... it this just a coincidence or could taking the reading have done something?:confused: |

I believe the technical term for this sort of thing is a "glitch". Sounds like too much of a coincidence to not be the cause, but if it stays off, I wouldn't worry about it.

Turns out there were two problems:
1. EGR Valve issue
2. Bypass Solenoid Failure (TSB 03001)
I still dont get how the two started right after I drove out of the emissions check |

If they took the gas cap off when the engine is running (like when they test the gas cap during the e-check) it will trigger a temporary check engine light (fuel tank pressure sensor).
To verify, take the gas cap off when it's running and the light will come on. |

nope ..see my post above. Turns out its was the EGR issue and the solenoid issue (known issues on 2003s).
What I dont get is how it happened right after the test. |

That is strange.
Vehicle got frightened by the emissions check? |
