Emissions inspection and now service engine light.

Has anyone ran into this problem? I had my emissions done today and when I drove the car into the place I had no issues. I started it up to leave and there was an ABS light on (it has since gone) but the service engine light is still on. I checked the tightness of the gas cap and it seems fine. Any ideas or positive experiences?

Is it due for any services, such as an oil change?

What state? Did they do a dyno test?

All services are up to date. It has something to do with them plugging into it.

It was in Colorado. No dyno test performed.

Ok. I took another shot in the dark and decided to turn the gas cap 180 degrees. The light went off. Are these cars that picky? I'm just happy it's off but thanks for the earlier help!

So the engine light is off but now I'm not sure if the service light that is coming on right at startup is normal. The Service light on the small display comes on right at startup and then goes to the seatbelt light. Anyone else with a R56 see this at startup? Am I going nuts?

Thanks
