    Gas Cap vs Chk Engine Light

    RE 2002 Jeep Cherokee, 6 Cyl.

    I had a problem passing the State of NJ emissions test. The guy said it was
    the gas cap. But, it passed and I happily left. Now, I have a Chk Engine
    Light. The car runs beautifully. Could this be the gas cap acting up? Is
    there a way to confirm the Check Eng light without a second mortgage on the
    house?

    Thanks for your help. Gary

    Go to Auto Zone they will use a scan tool for free and can reset the check
    engine light for you too. The largest cause of the check engine light is
    the gas cap most of the time it will be a P0454 or P0455 a leak in the
    emissions control system. Buy a new cap that Auto Zone it makes them feel
    good after using the scan tool.

    Could be as was the case with my wife's 02 Liberty. They dealer
    hooked up the computer, and it showed a O2 sensor, and gas
    cap seal we bad. Both were replaced under warranty, so if your
    XJ is still warranted, let DC foot the bill.
