What You Should Do
First, ensure the gas cap is tightened securely (3-4 clicks).
If the light remains on, have the diagnostic trouble codes read with an OBD-II scanner.
Common codes include P0455 (evap leak), P0420 (catalyst efficiency), or P0135 (O2 sensor heater).
If no codes are present, the light may reset after several drive cycles.
If the light persists, consult a professional mechanic for further diagnosis.
