Gas Cap Replacement in Berkeley, CA
Can faulty gas cap cause the check engine light to be illuminated? Yes, this is one of the hundreds of conditions that will cause the check engine light to turn “on”. Fortunately, the diagnostic and gas cap replacement are fast and inexpensive.
You may wonder why the lowly gas cap rates the involvement of the dreaded check engine light. It’s because the gas cap is a part of the emission control system. Faults throughout this system will cause the check engine light to illuminate – be it a faulty gas cap, failing oxygen sensor, or broken catalytic converter. Keeping the emission control system in top shapes reduces harmful gases released to the atmosphere – we all get to breathe cleaner air.
