Default Check your gas cap...


Check your gas cap, on? tight? if not look around in the engine compartment for anything obvious (dip stick, filler cap, loose hose). Have you done anyting to it in the past couple days? If so, check it. Some faults are imediate others take two "trips" to trip light. If you don't find anything take it to the dealer.

You can be turn off the light by diconnecting your battery for a mommet, but you will have to reset your windows and radio presets. You can also disconnect the ECU (more work) without resetting widows, etc..

If you don't fnd it take it to someone with a tool to read the fault codes.

Default Re: Check your gas cap...

Thanks for your help. I just got gas this morning, and then the light came on. That's probably the verdict. Thanks again.
