Hello and thank you to everyone that posts here. A huge thank you to the creators of this forum. My issue was fixed by reading the thread.
I had and issue with the VSC, skid, check engine lights that came on one day and wouldn’t go out. Read on the thread that it could be a gas cap. Checked my gas cap and it was clearly loose. Tried tightening it to get the two licks. Got the clicks but it didn’t sound or feel right like it wasn’t completely sealed. Searched NAPA, AutoZone and O’Reilly for new gas caps. Went to pick them up but I was skeptical that they would work because they didn’t look the same as the original. Went to Amazon to buy and OEM but saw a cheaper OEM knock off. Bought it, installed it, clicks felt right, filled up the tank then waited. Lights still in after a few hours…after a day…after two days. Then started reading more threads and looking at YouTube vids for a fix. Started looking more complicated. Then I just stared at the wall for another week like FTBS I might just drive this thing into the ocean. On about day ten of the issue I was on my way to the beach and noticed the lights went out. Light stayed out ever since it’s been about two weeks now.
So very successful! Proves that if you work hard and stare at a wall for long enough your issues will fix themselves. I don’t know what the longest time would be before those lights will go out by replacing a gas cap but again mine took about 10 days.
Here’s the video I subscribed to and saved for the day I was ready to re-attack this issue.
