Problem overview

Some Dodge Caravan owners report experiencing issues with the check engine light and gas cap warning, often triggered by a loose, broken, or missing gas cap. This common problem can lead to a drop in fuel pressure, causing the sensor to illuminate the check engine light. Owners are advised to tighten the gas cap and monitor whether the light goes off after a few trips. However, if the check engine light remains on or if the vehicle exhibits symptoms such as rough idling or decreased fuel efficiency, seeking professional assistance is recommended for further diagnosis. It is crucial to address these issues promptly to avoid more serious and costly repairs, as ignoring the warning indicators can potentially lead to engine failure or other significant problems. Resolving the underlying cause of the warning indicators is essential for maintaining the performance and efficiency of the Dodge Caravan.
