Faulty Gas Cap and Check Engine Light Repairs in Holland and Zeeland, MI
When the onboard computer in your vehicle illuminates the check engine light because of the faulty gas cap… well, the first time it happens, it’s quite a surprise. Yet if you think about the various sensors placed in your vehicle for the purpose of lowering emissions into the atmosphere, it makes sense that a gas cap (aka fuel cap) that does not hold pressure should trigger the check engine light. As a matter of fact, in 2023, faulty fuel cap was 7th on the list of the most frequent causes of the check engine light being illuminated.
Unpleasant surprise though it may be, when you think about what it takes to diagnose and repair the problem, faulty fuel cap is the best possible cause of the check engine light coming “on”. Diagnosing faulty fuel cap is easy, and the repair is inexpensive. You will not have to pay hundreds of dollars for advanced diagnostics, and will not have to spend hundreds on some computerized component or hard to get part (even though COVID pandemic is over, there are still supply chain issues that result in some parts being difficult to obtain in a timely manner).
