Readiness test for OBDII

A buddy and I recently purchased a new scanner and tried it out on my 2001 3.0 auto 4x4. When we were looking at the results we found mine kad failed the 'readiness test'. Something about a leak in the fuel system pressure test. I'll look further into that when it gets warm. Question is: does failing the readiness test stop the scanner from doing the rest of the tests? Like, does it continue on doing what it supposed to do or just quit until the readiness test is passed? Thanks for your help.

Make sure your gas cap is tight. Yes the computer does know. Also, don't fill the tank with the engine running. It sets an emission code that lasts for like 800 key cycles.
