Loose Fuel Filler Cap Message
EMISSIONS INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
PROGRAMS
In som e localities, it may be a legal requ irem ent to pass
an insp ection of you r vehicle’s emissions control system .
Failu re to pass could prevent vehicle registration.
After fuel is added, the vehicle diagnostic system can
determ ine if the fuel filler cap is loose, improp erly
installed , or damaged . A gASCAP message will be dis-
played in the instru ment cluster. Tighten the gas cap until
a ЉclickingЉ sou nd is heard . This is an ind ication that the
gas cap is prop erly tightened . Press the odometer reset
button to turn the message off. If the problem persists,
the message will appear the next time the vehicle is
started . This might ind icate a damaged cap. If the prob-
lem is detected twice in a row, the system will turn on the
Malfu nction Ind icator Light (MIL). Resolving the prob-
lem will turn the MIL light off.
For states that requ ire an Insp ection and Mainte-
nance (I/ M), this check verifies the Malfu nction
Ind icator Light (MIL) is functioning and is not on
when the engine is running, and that the OBD II system
is read y for testing.
Norm ally, the OBD II system will be read y. The OBD II
system may not be read y if you r vehicle was recently 7
serviced , recently had a dead battery, or a battery rep lace-
ment. If the OBD II system shou ld be determ ined not
read y for the I/ M test, you r vehicle may fail the test.
