I don't know about the AP2's, but the AP1's can throw a CEL if the fuel cap is not secure. Check the gas cap, and if it's tight, check your owners manual. I suspect all the warning lights are explained therein.

Tighten the fuel cap and keep driving like normal. Don't panic. The car will reset the warning when the EVAP monitor runs and passes 2X.

Eventually the message will go away, or the CEL will come on indicating where the leak is in the EVAP system.

It's most likely your gas cap. I had to end up buying a new one because the one I had was faulty

There is most likely nothing wrong with the car, just you left the cap loose. don't buy anything.

with SlowS2k. It has happened to me twice when I did not tighten the cap all the way. Mkae sure you hear 4 or 5 clicks when you seat the cap. On an AP2.5 the scrolling message will likely go away.
