Loose Fuel Filler Cap Message

If the vehicle diagnostic system determines that the fuel

filler cap is loose, improperly installed, or damaged, a

“Check fuel cap” message will be displayed in the Elec-

tronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC). Refer to “Elec-

tronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC)” in ”Understand-

ing Your Instrument Panel” for further information.

Tighten the gas cap until a ЉclickingЉ sound is heard. This is

an indication that the gas cap is properly tightened.
Press the odometer reset button to turn the message off.

If the problem persists, the message will appear the next

time the vehicle is started. This might indicate a damaged

cap. If the problem is detected twice in a row, the system

will turn on the MIL. Resolving the problem will turn the

MIL light off.

EMISSIONS INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
PROGRAMS

In some localities, it may be a legal requirement to pass

an inspection of your vehicle’s emissions control system.

Failure to pass could prevent vehicle registration.

For states that require an Inspection and Mainte-

nance (I/M), this check verifies the “Malfunction

Indicator Light (MIL)” is functioning and is not

on when the engine is running, and that the OBD II

system is ready for testing.
Normally, the OBD II system will be ready. The OBD II

system may not be ready if your vehicle was recently

serviced, recently had a dead battery or a battery replace-

ment. If the OBD II system should be determined not

ready for the I/M test, your vehicle may fail the test.
