#11 of 15 Check Engine Light by permgirl Dec 23, 2008 (12:47 pm)
About a month ago my check engine light went on. I stopped into a place like Pep boys and they determined it was a defective gas cap which I replaced. The light went out. Last week, the light came back on and I replaced the cap AGAIN, but this time the light didn't go out. Any thoughts?

Replying to: permgirl (Dec 23, 2008 12:52 pm) The CEL will not automatically go out immediately after a fault is cleared. It can take several driving cycles.   You really should get the codes read when there is a CEL to help determine what the problem is. Just because the CEL is on doesn't mean it is the gas cap. However, not tightening the gas cap is the most common cause of triggering the CEL.   -Brian Replies to this message: permgirl (Dec 23, 2008 4:00 pm) subearu (Dec 23, 2008 7:40 pm)
