You can buy your own code reader in CA, you just can't borrow one from/get your code read by an auto parts store. Supposedly (I've read) to protect you from the parts store making crap up to sell you parts. (Which, of course, a repair shop would NEVER EVER do.) So, it's a nanny state thing, not an EPA thing. I imagine some scammer worked over a state representative.
The code readers are cheap, like 30 bucks or something.
