CHECK FUEL CAP Message In MID or Odometer Display

APPLIES TO:
2005 Odyssey

SERVICE TIP:
Got a 2005 Odyssey in your shop with a CHECK FUEL CAP message in the MID (Touring Models) or in the odometer display (all other models)? Make sure the fuel fill cap is installed and tightened three clicks. Once your customer tightens the cap and the vehicle is parked overnight, the message should go off after the next drive cycle. As long as the MIL doesn't come on, everything's OK. If the MIL comes on, it means your customer either didn't tighten the cap after three driving cycles or there could be a problem in the system and the vehicle needs to be brought in for analysis.
