Anybody know how to reset the "CHECK FUEL CAP" message? I've driven through a whole tank of gas and it hasn't gone away.  Trying to reset it and seeing if it comes back before I replace the cap.  Thanks is advance.

I think I'm just going to disconnect the battery and see if that clears it out.

I don't have that message. I guess if you have tried going through a tank and it doesn't go away, resetting it by disconnecting the battery is a good start.

Try cleaning the O-ring on the cap before you replace it.

I had this happen the other week to me. I ended up getting out my car and closing it correctly. After fixing it, the warning was still there. Got out again, fixed it again, made sure this time and after a few mins, it went away.

Just so you know, this light went off after like 300 miles of driving.  Took a month an a half to do that.
