First of all i search through the forum for 8 minutes exactly but couldnt find any thread on the problem. So any one knows how to turn the Service engine soon light off or i have to either go to dealer or autozone. Anyway no error codes were found !

u cannot reset a Check Engine Light. If it's on, there's a problem. Or else it will go away after being fixed. Autozone will not turn it off. U can purchase one of those OBD-II things and turn it off urself but if something is wrong, it needs to be fixed.

Basically leak detection pump warning in general terms refers to gas cap warning, but if your gas cap is actually closed then obviously it could be something else.

- Just a leaky gas cap.
- It could also mean you did not put the cap on tight.
- a seal in the tank assembly is leaking or a damaged or leaky hose. There can be as much as a dozen hoses that lead from the tank out to other parts of the car....
- Or from rodents. They just love rubber hoses, plastic, and tight places.
- Human error, I seen a stereo install where the installer used long drywall screws to secure a box. It went threw the top of the gas tank.
- Lastly and most unlikely it could be a bad pump or sensor. These don't normally go bad.
