Default Check Engine light,Dont panic

For those that are unaware. Short story.On the way home last evening my engine light came on. I Immediately pulled over and checked my fuel fill cap,it was lose
Five miles down the road the light reset itself. Just an fyi to those that may take time out of their busy schedules to go to the dealer to correct this simple quirk.

I replaced mine last week because it wasn't locking properly. No warning light came on but I still felt it was a good idea to change it.
