Check Fuel Cap

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Ford Ranger. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The CHECK FUEL CAP indicator is used to indicate critical leaks in the fuel tank evaporative system. Fuel tank pressure is monitored by the PCM and if a leak is detected it signals a fault by illuminating the CHECK FUEL CAP indicator. If a fault is detected the PCM provides the CHECK FUEL CAP indicator with a ground.
