Recently, my check engine light came on. After a bit of research I read to check if the gas cap is loose. After checking the gas cap. it was very loose. I tightened the cap as tight as possible (many clicks), and now I'm wondering if the check engine light will go off by itself or should I take it in to an auto repair shop? Could it be a different problem if the light does not go off?
If the code would have been due to the cap problem then the code will go away. Try resetting the code. Also try diagnosing again after disconnecting the battery and then reconnecting it after a few minutes.

Keep it under 65mph!
Go to the nearest auto parts store and ask them to check it with a code reader. Advanced Auto Parts will usually do this for free!

Check the engine oil level. Let it idle and watch the oil light if it flickers or comes on then not safe to drive. Check while driving it does'nt overheat but this is very unlikely Otherwise you should have no problem. I don't know anything about Mazda problem's so cannot advise on that but engines in general are all the same.

It will not go off by itself,you will need to reset it by connecting to a diagnostic tool.Once cleared if there is any other problem then it will trigger the check engine light again.Hope this helps..

you would need a scan tool to reset it, if it is the gas cap and you fixed the problem with it then the light will go out after 100 miles of driving with a couple of cold starts. if it doesnt go out after a few days of driving then that wasnt the problem.
