My 2006 Kia Sedona's check engine light just came on today. It happened once before and I just fiddled with the Gas Cap and it went off. This time that did not work. It only has 23,000 miles on it. Any ideas? It seems to be working perfectly.
Try not to fill up the tank while the car is running. maybe there is a bad seal on the gas cap now. i would simply reccomend taking it to the nearest advanced auto part, autozone, jiffy lube...anything of that matter and get them to read the code for you[they should do it for free]. Make sure to write it down, come back here and let me know what it said. its probably not a big deal
Could be a bad cap but get the check engine light check and make sure it isn't thing more than that could be a vacuum leak or a bad sensor.
The check engine light us there to indicate a problem with the emissions system. There could be any number of things including a tiny leak in the evap system such as is caused by the gas cap. The first step is to have it scanned. most of the chain type parts stores scan for free, but keep in mind that many of the emissions have an 8 year 80000 mile warranty from the dealer. Check your warranty book before you pay someone to fix an emission's item
Hope this helps.

you need to do the fuel filter and oil filter too. i would do the plugs now to get it all sorted but waiting till then shouldnt be a problem
