What You Should Do
First, check that the gas cap is tightened securely.
If the light remains on, have the diagnostic trouble codes read with an OBD-II scanner.
Common codes include P0455 (evaporative emission system leak) or P0420 (catalyst efficiency).
If no performance issues are present, the vehicle is generally safe to drive short distances, but a proper diagnosis is recommended to prevent potential damage or failed emissions tests.
Estimated Repair Cost
$0 (check gas cap) to $150 (diagnostic scan) or more if repairs are needed
