They should not be triggering the CEL.

Codes that can't be cleared with a OBD scan tool trigger the CEL for a period of time, X #miles or X heat cycles then clear themselves if they don't get detected again during the X period.

The CEL is clearly on in the dash but my scan tool says it's off.

But if it were off the codes should not be flagged as Permanent, I think?

Anyone know?
