Default Question about cel

ok well i'm pretty sure my check engine is on cause of my gas cap, and i just filled up but it didn't turn off, if it was my gas cap would it by now? or does it take a little bit or does the dealer have to reset it or what, thanks all

Reset it by unhooking the battery and then reconnecting it. If it is still there with the gas cap on right, then you have another problem.

Rather than unplug the battery, pull fuse #13 (the ecu fuse) on the passenger side fusebox for more than 10 seconds. If it persists, retrieve the code and see what's up.

I think your owners manual shows you a diagram of what each fuse is. Pull the fuse for 15 seconds and restart the car. That should take care of it. OR you could go to autozone, they read the code for free. Get the number and that will tell you what the problem is.
