I’m shocked they didn’t rig it so doing what you did turns the check engine light on or something ridiculous.

It might set a "stored" trouble code already, which won't trigger the engine light (only "active' trouble codes do in most vehicles). Some stored trouble codes are there for the technicians to see which passive systems/sensors are failing or have failed in the past.

That would fail them in any type approval test anywhere in the world.
