Check Fuel Cap Warning Indicator (if equipped)
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Ford RV Cutaway, 2005 Ford Econoline, and 2005 Ford E450 Super Duty. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
When the PCM detects that there is a leak in the evaporative emissions (EVAP) system that could be the result of a loose fuel filler cap, the PCM sends a message over the communication network to the instrument cluster, illuminating the check fuel cap warning indicator.
