My 2015 honda civic check emmissions light is on. I got gas recently and dont drive it much. I have re-tightened my gas cap. This happends in my 2001 fronteir and it is always the gas cap but it took a few starts and stops for it to reset. Should i get a new gas cap and do i need to drive it around and see if it resets? Mechanic's Assistant: Just to clarify, what are the exact lights you're talking about? There is a engine looking icon on the dash and the info system has a check emmissions screen also, similar to door open screen. Mechanic's Assistant: Are you fixing your Civic yourself? What have you tried so far? Just checking the gas cap, There are no other driving/engine issues Mechanic's Assistant: Anything else you want the Mechanic to know before I connect you? Only has 35,000 miles - good condition
