RX-7s don't have a check engine light. They only have a small terminal under the hood for diagnostics (drivers front, behind the battery.) I don't understand why you want the check engine light to light while they are checking the car for emissions. (I have never been in for an emissions test because we don't have emission controls in my county.)

S4 didn't have a CEL, S5 did. if you have an S4 you don't have to worry about them checking it.
