Default Gas cap Msg

Did you smash your evap can? Maybe the can is worn out and needs to be replaced?

cap may just be losing the seal. if it persists, buy a new cap and see if it helps.

I've been battling this since I bought my JK in February. Dealer can't figure out how to fix the issue. If your Gascap light goes on with three consecutive starts, you will get the Malfunction Indicator Light "MIL" as well. I wish they could just pull the whole system and toss it in the trash...

My '07 did this back in the summer.. Cap was not loose, and everything looked fine. had me baffled.. Bought a new cap off of eBay for $8 and have not had the light back on since.
