Will check engine light reset after tightening gas cap?
The check engine light should go off after you drive for several minutes if the light was caused by a loose gas cap. If you find that the light keeps coming on, and goes off again once you tighten the gas cap, then your gas cap is too loose.
Why does my check engine light come on when I pump gas?
There are many reasons your car’s check-engine light turns on after you fuel up. It could be a loose gas cap, a gasket gone bad on said gas cap, or a damaged vacuum hose, among others. If it detects a loss of pressure, the check-engine light will come on, indicating that there’s a problem.
