| Hi everyone. I have a 06 ex-l. yesterday on my way home from work a message appeared saying check fuel cap. well it was tight and this morning same message. pilot runs fine. i just hit the advance knob and it goes away. but everytime i start it same thing i just turned 5400 miles. there is a post in the ridgeline forum that talks about negative pressure in the fuel tank. anyone else have this? |

| I had the same thing occur with my new 06. Live in NJ so it's full service. Gas attendant filled up and did not close the cap properly. I knew it when it happend but did not jump out to click the cap. I forgot about it and a day later the check fuel cap message came on. I took it to the dealer and they hooked the computer to it and cleared the message. Now I'm much more careful about the cap after fueling. Hope this helps. |

| Make sure you tighten the fuel cap at least four "clicks". |

| The same thing happened to my '06 at 2500mi. No visible reason as cap was tight and I am the only person who drives it. Followed what the manual said to reset it but it kept coming on just the same. Took it to dealer after 2 weeks and they reset it after checking out possible causes. Has not reappeared since (2 months ago). |
