my service engine light came on the other day so i took it in. turns out it was some kind of sensor that was activated because my gas cap was not as tight as it should be. make sure to turn it till it clicks and that it is in straight.

Quote: Here is how to pull a code.

Pulling CEL codes:
HOW TO SET DIAGNOSTIC TEST MODE II (SELF-DIAGNOSTIC RESULTS)
1. Confirm that accelerator pedal is fully released, turn ignition switch ON and wait 3 seconds.
2. Repeat the following procedure quickly five times within 5 seconds.
- Fully depress the accelerator pedal.
- Fully release the accelerator pedal.
3. Wait 7 seconds, fully depress the accelerator pedal and keep it for approx. 10 seconds until the MIL starts
blinking.
NOTE:
Do not release the accelerator pedal for 10 seconds if MIL may start blinking on the halfway of this
10 seconds. This blinking is displaying SRT status and is continued for another 10 seconds.

4. Fully release the accelerator pedal.
ECM has entered to Diagnostic Test Mode II (Self-diagnostic results).


If I'm online I'll check in Service manual on what you find for codes.
Would it be the same code that I can get using an OBD II scanner ??

That maybe an easier way to get the same thing (if you have a scanner) !!

$100 says it's the gas cap. It happened to me three days after driving away from the dealership after my purchase. I took it into the dealer because obviously I freaked out that the light came on, and sure enough it was the gas cap. If you want to avoid going back to the dealer (i.e. wasting 3hrs of your day), then my dealer told me to twist the cap until you hear at least 4-5 clicks, then after 5-6 starts (separate driving sessions), the engine light should turn off thereafter.
