Car Forum / Chrysler Cars / May 2006MIL is on, possible causes?
The MIL or check engine light on 2002 Voyager 4 cylinder came on three weeks ago. I took the car (mother in law's car) to local shop. They read the code and it said the gas tank sensor was reading loss of pressure. I bought her a new gas cap and cleared the reading. Three days ago, the light came back on. My mechanic friend said he was not very familiar with Voyagers (Chrysler). Any clues beside taking it to dealer. Nearest dealer is 75 miles away. Thanks It could be anything, with the fuel system if it is the Evaporative fuel leak codes. Tell me something, when you put on the gas cap, do you turn it enough to get at least two to three clicks from the cap? That tells you it is on properly. Also It will take about 5 good long drives for the code to clear, if that was the problem. Yes, I am fairly certain it is not the gas cap. My wife and I filled up the vehicle at the same time we put on the new gas cap. I clicked it more than enough. 300 miles later is when the light reappeared. I am going to ask around and see if anyone local has dealt with Chrysler fuel leak codes. If not, I will just make an appointment and drive the 75 miles and have the dealer look at it. It is a shame, it is a 2002 with 31,267 miles on it. I told her that it is not bad if the MIL is not blinking but she wants it fixed.

If it is an evaporative leak you would have to perform a visual check of all hoses, if there are no obvious problem then a smoke test will have to be performed to find the leak.
