Service Engine Soon Light.. Dodge Dakota 2003
My service engine soon light came on last Friday.. it isn't blinking so that is good.. I didn't put gas in my truck while it was running.. that is good! I have a little over 34,000 on it and I will be bringing it in to the Dodge place we bought it from... I'm thinking it is just time for the "Federal Emissions Control" to be checked... any ideas...

more than likely just some little widget said i give up. If the light is on steady it should be a hard code so hopefully easy to diagnose and fix.

Unless the dealership is going to scan it for free, which is highly unlikely, I would save some money and have the codes read somewhere like Auto Zone, which is free. Then post back here what the codes are that come up.

I own a 2002 Dakota & the same thing happened to me. I took it in to the dealer and the had to replace the gas cap.
Seems the vent in the cap rusted shut. Replaced it & havent had another problem like that.
Other problems but not gas cap
Good luck
