Description of the problem	Over the past two months, i have had the yellow engine light come on. Even though there were no issues related to performance noted, i took vehicle to my garage to diagnose. The diagnosis did not find any issue, but mechanic proceeded to check the gas cover cap. Lo and behold, both times, removing the cap and replacing seemed to correct the issue and the yellow engine light went off. Quite annoying as don't want to have to keep checking if light comes on incorrectly and not address if there was indeed a problem to correct.
