So since the CRV wasn't showing any noticeable signs of issues (ie troubles starting, engine knock, weird noises, power degradation) I told him to hold off on taking it somwehere until I get a sense if its feasible to determine what the error code is. I didn't want them to fleece my old man. Well despite that, he ended up taking it to a local shop. Surprisingly they told him to drive it into the bay. When he went to start it again, the CEL was off. So lucky for him it buys some time. Maybe it'll illuminate again, maybe not. At least now I have some options in buying a scanner and having some (low-level) insight what the error is before taking it to a shop who will charge $110 just to hook it up.
