Hope you all have a great and safe labor day weekend!!.. Justin

Thats the infamous loose gas cap code. Its in the FSM as that. I shit you not. Go to the cap, tighten it SEVERAL clicks (10 or more)...aka, like crank it down a whole turn past where it starts to tighten. Alltho, if you've got the new style cap that sorta slides into a 'slot' and slides out of the 'slot'...make sure to crank down on it anyhow. Then reset the ECU. If the code comes back, then bring it to SOG and we'll check it out. We have ppl that come in on a daily basis with that code, 99.9999% of the time its a loose cap. That 0.0001% is an older high mileage car from up north with a small rust hole somewhere either in the evap lines, or on top of the gas tank.
