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.

- 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.
