i found out the ck engine light can come on if the gas cap is not on tight enough. so i took off the cap and put it back on and turned it until it clicked 3 times, and it worked...my ck engine light went off... YEAH!!!!!!!!!

Got a brand spanking new 2005 RIO, CEL came on in the driveway after the dealer had delivered the car. He had just filled the gas tank.
I checked the cap, seemed tight, lifted the negative lead on the battery for about 3 minutes, no more CEL.

hope you hadn't already programmed your radio... :P

ROTFLMAO...no, I hadn't programmed the radio yet. But after about 25 miles the CEL came back on. Have an appointment tomorrow to get it fixed. If the mechanic will share what he found I will post it here...

This'll be interesting how they explain away this CEL...

Just got back from dealership.

This is what they found, from the ticket..
"TECH STATES HAD CODE P0451"
"TANK PRESSURE SENSOR SHORTED"

There was a lot more, explaining exactly what the tech did..

He replaced the switch, no more CEL!!!
