SOURCE: The "tighten fuel cap" message

It's the gas cap sensor. Or you are getting a vaccuum leak somewhere.

Yiu can go to any Aamco Transmission, AutoZone, Pep Boys, O'Reilly, they can read the code for you and turn the light off.

Testimonial: "Because the battery died, the code left in the memory was " low voltage". Even though, battery was now charged, Check Engine light stay on.Now reset"

Driving home last night... gas cap light comes on. I tightened gas cap, restarted car and light goes off...started car this morning and now check engine light on

The "gas cap light" actually does not mean the gas cap is loose or defective.It is telling you there is a leak in the fuel system somewhere,usually a vapor line or stuck or defective valve.Not very often is it the gas cap that causes the light to come on.Time for a scan and a smoke test to fine the leak.

I had blinking vsc code and check engin light on. Took it to a dealer who ran diagnotic. Dealer said gas cap has failed and new charcoal canister is needed. Since the high cost of latter, I simply...

Don't worry about that light, if performance and fuel economy is good. The light is still a fault from the evaporative canister.. It should not affect performance. Just make sure the fuel cap is snug. Just perform The ODBII scan periodically to catch any future problems. The vacume diaphragm for canister purge should be unplugged and the vacume hose plugged. This will avoid engine from sucking fuel into the engine due to a ruptured diaphragm in the canister

2011 Ford Edge was purchased brand new one month ago. while driving today the "low oil engine pressure" alarm activated. oil was subsequently checked and is at proper level. Engine starts,...

I had the same problem after 5 months of purchasing a 2011 Edge. The Oil Engine Pressure light comes on and stays on after driving 10 minutes and stopping for gas- it turns off shortly after I start driving again. I had a 2007 Edge as well and never had this problem. I just took the 2011 Edge back to the dealer. They could not duplicate the problem and instead reset all computer settings. The next day the same Oil Engine Pressure light came back on. Anyone out there with any suggestions?

Would guess that canister would be dealer only but never hurts to check the local parts store.Could also check online parts store.They say this problem comes from topping of your tank.When fueling and the pump shuts off you are not to put any more in.Just a thought.

Check engine light came on today.what should i check

A few months ago mine did the same thing and of course I freaked. With out knowing I some how did not have my gas cap on all the way. First thing to do is unscrew that then put it back on. I took mine to a auto store for diagnoses and that is what the problem was they had to reset set the chip less than 2mins. and it has not yet come back on. You may need to replace the cap soon that is what they told me but I have not done it yet and no problems since. Hope this helps you.
