You may be able
to
correct the emission system
malfunction by considering the following:
Did you recently put fuel into your vehicle‘?
If
so,
reinstall the fuel cap, making sure to
fully
install
the cap.
The
diagnostic system can determine if the fuel
cap has been left off or improperly installed. A loose or
missing fuel cap will allow fuel to evaporate into the
atmosphere.
A
few driving trips with the cap properly
installed should turn the light off.
Did
you just drive through a deep puddle of water?
If
so,
your electrical system may be wet. The condition
will
usually be corrected when the electrical system
dries out.
A
few driving trips should
turn
the light off.
