Car Forum / Honda Cars / March 2008Check Fuel Cap 2007 Accord
Getting the message. Cap seems OK, I got the three clicks. Car drives OK. Still under warranty, message keeps appearing. Guess I'll call the dealer, but any advice? Is it really likely the cap? Googling, seems this message gets a lot of play, seems weird to me. Thanks. Josh > Getting the message. > [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > > Josh Had the same problem with my 06 when new.

Anybody ever dropped the cap? Three clicks doesn't mean anything if the pressure seal goes bad. In any case, a fix is free to you, so let the dealer worry about it.

Called dealer, advice was to see if it goes away, guess I'll survive it until Monday. Can't hurt, can it? Why does the car even have a sensor for something so minor?
