Hi all,

I have a 2005 Dodge ram QC (2WD) and recently found the MIL "malfunction" light turned on when starting the engine this morning. I replaced the fuel filler cap with a locking gas cap I got from Wal-mart about 3 days ago. Today was the first time I saw the light come on. I switched to my original filler cap and drove about 15 miles and the light is still illuminated. Is there anything I can try before making a trip to the dealer? BTW, it has 1300 miles on it.

Thanks,

Yup, find someone with an OBDII scanner and get the code, if its your gas cap--delete it.
If it isn't your gas cap, at least you'll have a clue as to what it is.

 

Gone Fishin -- Thanks for the quick reply. Any idea on where I might purchase an OBDII scanner locally? I am pretty new to the area and don't have many contacts here yet.

Thanks,

Go to Autozone and they will read your code for you and tell you what it is for free.

 

Excellent! Thanks a bunch. Other than this, I love my new Dodge Ram!!

So far upgrades include:

Magnaflow cat-back exhaust (dual side exit)
