i just finished pumping the gas and saw CEL on. I guess it's pretty much 100% that it's the gas cap...

 

Could be, but don't assume it. Just do the paper clip trick and read the bleeps on the dash.

 

if the fault is permanent the engine light will come on even after u clear all codes, it will be stored in the ecu pgm fi as a permanent fault.

if the fault is not detected after 3 worm up cycles there will be no engine light and the code will be stored as a temporary truble code. u can clear a temporary code and it will not be stored.

just take it to the dealer tell them u left uer gas cap loose and can they please clear the code for u. iv seen many times ppl dont get charged for gas cap codes.

or just get an after market obd 2 scan tool and clear the code uer self.

i do not suggest sticking any foreign material into uer obd2 interface (such as a paper clip) especially if uer not sure what u are doing.

 

Do you have the codes scanner? (NOT a paper clip!!!)

I would come over but I am on vacation in Paris now until the end of the week... so I may still take up your offer when I get back The CEL came on the afternoon before I headed out! Bugs me like hell that I don't know what triggered it and I had to leave it for a week, dang >.< but I am enjoying my long-awaited and overdue vacation though, haha...

Thanks guys for all the input so far! I'll update as soon as I have more!

Cheers!

 

enjoy yourself! get your mind off the CEL haha...you are missing out on beautiful weather back home though

 

There is nothing wrong with the paper clip method if you know what you're doing.

Basic OBD2 readers are pretty cheap now and is good to have even if you don't work on your car.

 

if u know what u r doing.

 

hi jl9000 im still luvin the exhuast!

 

Good to hear Mark! I love the 60RS.
