You may have a faulty gas cap. If you are tightening the cap down securely the light will go off after the car is driven about 40 miles. I suggest installing a new gas cap which should cost about $15 at your local auto parts store. *** Please rate me on this answer.***

I own a chysler aspen . The dealer put a new gas filler hose on it per recall and gas coming back out, so they did and i started having the gas cap message. so i hooked up a scanner and it said small evap leak. I looked on the internet for a solution .Back in 2007 chysler corp had a tsb on this problem for chysler aspen,dodge durango,town and country, It said replace the evap caniaster and gas cap because the esim switch on the evap caniaster had a fault problem. But dont tell the customer or fix it for free. Do a smoke test. If thats the problem them tell the customer how much to fix, So chysler new about this problem back in 2007 but would not fix it under a recall, Shady if u ask me. This will fix your problem also, Use the reset button on the above display area. Not the push button by the odometer.

Dealing with same issue on my 2006 Chrysler van. You may have a bad evap sensor. Could be damage to the tank not allowing a proper seal. Good luck.

Gas cap light came in jeep patriot 2008

Start by rebooting the as explained regkyl.
If issue returns then get a new gascap and reboot again. The seal on your cap is maybe worn out.
If issue still return then you'll have no choice to go and have the sensor checked and hope the problem is not with the cluster...

Check engine light on

Try tightening the gascap. Go to an Autozone, Advance, or Oreilys parts store. They will give a free scan and it probably will show that there is an Evaporative emissions system leak. A leaky gascap can generate this Code.

I cannot get my check engine light to stay off. It comes on and off and I was told it was the gascap. The ABS light wasnt reset when I had some repairs done. How can I get them both to stay off.

Some auto parts stores have pressure testers to check the seal on your gas cap to ensure it's not loosing pressure or you can buy a new one. I would suggest checking your vehicle for trouble codes first to be sure though. If it's your gas cap it will be an evaporative emissions control code. Your abs system requires a separate scanner to check for problems but usually it is just the sensor that goes bad and needs to be replaced.

I took my Aspen07 to the shop and they replaced the gascap with a factory gascap, cleared the codes and the gascap message is still on as well as the check engine light. Any suggestions?

the check engine light is most likely evap system large leak which is what causes the gas cap light it probably needs a nvld pump or it has a leaking evap tube under th vehicle.

Fuel cap light keeps coming on and then the check engine light. This was repaired two weeks ago and light came on last night.

Hello, what did someone do to repair it? Here is what you need to do. Go to Autozone or Oreillys and get a free scan. If it still shows gascap then ask them to clear the onboard computer. With the engine off, tighten your gascap again.

Everytime you put on the gascap loosely, you will get this alarm and it will stay on 25-35 Startups or until you get the computer cleared.

However, if you eliminate the gascap there are other problems which you may have that require a special tool called a smoke machine. You have a leak in one of your pollution hoses for the fuel tank. Only the smoke machine can find a small leak like this. Once you find the leak it is a simple matter to fix.

You can call around to find a repair shop with the proper equipment. I hope you find my solution informative and feel well served.

Leak in evap system, where and what is an evap system. 2001 mitsubishi Galant

I have the same failure that occurred when smogging my Ford Ranger. The EVAP test was just added a couple of years ago and it tests for leaks in the gas tank vapor recovery system. What this is a system of vapor recovery lines that connect from the gas tank and goes to a canister then returns to the intake and on the next engine start and gets used, instead of leaking into the air.

The only issue is these lines can develop a leak at any of the connection points or along the rubber portions and can be a pain to replace depending on your application. So until you fix the leak you will fail this test since they pressurize the system and if there is a leak it won't hold the pressure.
