Check Engine light
Hi, I took a chance on a locking gas cap for a 2000/2001 Jeep on my 2002?
Check engine light came on at half tank. Maybe I didn't get it tight enough, or they changed the cap? Anyway, Anyone have any problem with locking gas caps? Also, is there a way to turn off or check the check engine light with going to the dealer. 2002 Wrangler, Sport 4.0l, 5 speed, 4.11 gears and 31x10.5's Thanks, Craig |
Re: Check Engine light
Locking gas caps are common causes of Check Engine lights because they're
often not air-tight enough to prevent a vapor leak in the fuel system that the computer will detect. Disconnect your battery for 2 minutes to clear the light.

Re: Check Engine light
I think the '02 might use a different cap then the previous years. My '02 TJ
has a factory cap that is a quick release design, that only requires about 1/4 turn to release, then it pops right off. I think the pre-'02 models used a different kind of cap. The correct locking cap should be available at your dealer, and should not be too expensive.
