Hello - I have a 2013 Explorer Limited. The "check engine" light came on last week and has not gone off.
I ran the on board diagnostic that is sent to syncmyride.com and it showed "The powertrain control module has detected an evaporative emission control system fault." The tool told me to consult the manual, which advised:
"These temporary malfunctions can be corrected by filling the fuel tank
with good quality fuel, properly closing the fuel fill inlet or letting the
electrical system dry out. After three driving cycles without these or any
other temporary malfunctions present, the service engine soon indicator
should stay off the next time the engine is started."
I've filled the tank and driven several cycles and the light is still illuminated. The capless fuel inlet does not appear to have any openings or damage.
Advice or thoughts? I'd love to avoid taking it to the dealer only to be charged at least $100 just to determine what's "wrong."
Thanks in advance!
