Default Stuttering and check engine light

Yes, a good scanner will show these codes as "pending".
You should do it ASAP because the codes get erased after certain time/car
runs.

Not so good news: OBD-II reader shows "pending" codes but it doesn't show
if they've
just occurred and will light up (CEL or MIL) check engine light
or if the symptoms just stopped showing after lighting up CEL.

So codes are pending > CEL on > pending
