Check Fuel Cap - What to do First - Automotive Education

  • In this video, we have a 2005 Honda Accord that is displaying the "Check Fuel Cap" message when started. We discuss the first thing you need to do when this happens, and that is to check and ensure the fuel cap has a clean O-ring and surface to seal against on the filler tube.
    At the end of this video, the system stops displaying the Check Fuel Cap message, but it is immediately followed by the vehicle illuminating the Check Engine Light. This means our diagnosis is likely going to have to take a deeper dive into the EVAP Emissions system.

    For what it's worth, I had this msg on a 2015 Civic LX. I tightened the cap, took it off retightened numerous times. Would not go away. Drove it for a bit, still would not go away. Then I started the car with the gas cap removed, let it run for a minute then turned the car off. Put the gas cap back on, started the car and the msg was gone.

    Thanks So Much for the Simple Explanation! I did just exactly what you said respecting the checking and cleaning of the cap rubber "O" ring gasket and the surface of the gas filler neck. Once I did those things, the check fuel cap light went out almost immediately.

    Thank you that was simple easy to do. I like how you explained it step by step and clearly. This made my panic go away immediately. I could smell the gas coming from the gas cap and i cleaned it. It was a bit dusty and slightly dirty. My cap wasn't on tight either. Also I didn't know a gas cap that was loose, dirty, dusty , etc.. could cause problems. Now I know thanks to your clip.

  • @realjaxon
    @realjaxon 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Is that gas cap a one-click ? I'm asking because I have a '02 Ford Taurus and I bought a new gas cap that seems to be a one-click lock. I replaced it because the original gas cap continually spun with the clicking sound and I had a gas smell.

    • @espinoedin
      @espinoedin 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Generally all working gas caps are multi click but Isaí ally it’s deacon end to do a 1-2 click for a good seal, but check you owners manual for what it recommends
