Fuel Cap Warning Message

The ECM/PCM detects a loose or missing fuel fill cap as an evaporative system leak and alerts the driver by showing a warning message in the odo/trip display.

The first time a leak is detected, a CHECK FUEL CAP message appears on the odo/trip display (A). To scroll to another message, press the select/reset button. The CHECK FUEL CAP message appears each time you restart the engine until the system turns the message off. Turn the engine off, then replace or tighten the fuel fill cap until it clicks at least once.
