Gas Cap Replacement in Willow Glen, San Jose
The check engine light coming “on” is not a happy occasion – unless it turns out to be a loose/faulty gas cap. Many conditions that trigger the check engine light are directly associated with the emission system. A gas cap is considered a part of the emission system, so when the computer detects a gas cap problem, it will turn on the check engine light.
Naturally the repair is simple – replacing the gas cap with a new one. But any time the check engine light comes on, you should bring your vehicle to a “mechanic near me” to have professionals diagnose the issue. Check engine light can be caused by any of hundreds upon hundreds of conditions. So if it does turn out to be a faulty gas cap – this is indeed a happy outcome.
