why does my Genesis G70 have a gas cap light on even with a new cap

Solution

1. Preparation

• Gather tools and parts required for the repair.
• Disconnect the vehicle battery to prevent electrical shorts while working on the EVAP system.

Tools Required:

• OBD-II scanner
• Smoke machine
• Socket set
• Screwdrivers
• Torque wrench

2. Inspect and Replace EVAP Components

1. Inspect Evaporative Emission Control (EVAP) System:

   • Visually check all hoses and connections for signs of wear or damage.
   • Ensure that the hoses are properly connected and there are no cracks.

2. Replace Damaged Components:

   • If any hoses or valves are damaged, remove the faulty part using a socket or screwdriver.
   • Replace with OEM or high-quality aftermarket parts, ensuring proper fitment.
   • Torque all connections to manufacturer specifications.

3. Clear Error Codes

1. Reset the Vehicle's Computer:
   • Use the OBD-II scanner to erase any stored error codes related to the gas cap or EVAP system.
   • Disconnect the battery for a few minutes to reset the system if necessary.

4. Reconnect Battery and Test

• Reconnect the battery terminals securely.
• Start the vehicle and monitor the gas cap light to see if it remains illuminated.
