Default Emissions Test

Has anyone had any problems with the emissions test? For some reason I'm thinking I'm going to have a problem. I haven't been to one of these places in a long time, so I'm not sure what to expect. From what I've read on their website, they only plug in to the ECU to check for a failure warning, etc. I see they do this at Meineke Muffler shops as well. Maybe I'll get a bid on an entire new exhaust system on my car while I'm there

I was worried because I had disconnected my battery to install a mat. Drove the car a few times (it was in December) and passed with no problems...
