Hello,

After I picked up my car from the autobody shop and drove for like 5 minutes. The "check fuel cap" lid up.


I tried relocking the cap but the warning still comes up. Any ideas? Bad cap?

Btw, the shop repainted my front & rear bumpers.

Clear the code and then see if it comes back or not.

 

Unplug the battery?

Is this a warning for the fuel cap or the fuel door? Im guessing door, and the sensor is probably just disconnected. Or did you get a CEL?

 

My fuel cap wasnt on proper after a fill and i got "maintance req." Is that the same thing your talking about? Mine also still flashes every time i start the car. Kind of shitty...

 

^^^^^You have to reset your oil life monitor to get rid of the flashing "maintance req" light.
•- Put the key in the ignition and in the "OFF/LOCKED" Position.

•- Hold the Trip/Reset Button on the right bottom corner of your gauge cluster (see pic)

•- Now - Turn key to the "ON" Position while continuing to hold the Trip/Reset Button till the light goes off.

•***If the light is still at the "blinking" stage and not yet solid - continue to Hold the button for around 25-30 seconds just to make sure it resets. ***

 

"Maint reqd" light has nothing to do with the fuel cap. totally not related.

Touge, your car just needs a light reset. ck the manual.

tntrac, you have a pending (no CEL) P1456 code. In other words, if you dont fix the evap leak (usually gas cap) your CEL will come on.

Give it time, if your cap was leakintg vapor, it will take a short time for the ECU to realize the problem is fixed and to turn off the loose gas cap light.

 

No CEL. I drove this morning and it went away .

Most common cel it seems.

 

I got the check engine light 10 minutes after buying my S, of course I filled up and did not tighten the cap up enough. The cap seems to require many clicks until it is fully tight.
