Everyone knows Jesus was Chinese, he fled to Hong Kong and tricked the Romans into putting his gay brother on the cross. He married a nice Asian women, and thousands of years later his sanctity was passed down the blood line to a certain someone, you may know him.
Take it to Autozone or someplace similar. They can run a diagnostic on your car, and they'll do it for free. If the connector is broken, they'll be able to tell you.
Dude. Think about it... if your descendance theory is right, that goes on par with Eduardo Nájera, who is from Chihuahua. No doubt God's Son is from MEH-hee-koh.
EDIT: DarkHorse beat me to it! Simple - go to an Autozone. Tell them your "check engine" light came on. They'll try to hook up the OBD2 reader. If it's really busted, they'll tell you. If it's not busted, they'll read it and tell you your car is fine and there is no code. Then you just say, oh ok it must've gone away. Thanks. Sorry for the inconvenience. Then re-evaluate your situation as needed.
technically you guys didn't say it at the same time, now you get a penalty for calling a false jinx, you owe him a coke.
Sorry to hijack.

I was inspired by the smooth talkin' Pizza Da Hut. I can't say that I dream of long walks on the beach and Shane Battier, but whatever works. Anyway... It's all in fun. The autozone suggestion is the best one.
Why can't they emissions test your car without the connector? My car pre-dates OBD-2 (it's a car from 1993) so they do some different type of test, and it still gives the emissions data.
