Fuel level is recorded when the ignition key is turned off and is compared to the fuel level when the ignition key is turned back on. The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) recognizes an increase in fuel level and will fail the Large leak test because the fuel cap is broken or not installed properly. GAS CAP will be displayed to inform the owner that the cap is off of loose.
