How many miles will pass before check engine light recycles and goes off due to the fuel cap not being on properly on a 2004 mercury mountaineer?
Mileage is not what determines when the trouble code is cleared. There specific criteria that has to be met before the light will turn off. For example some codes require that the car go's thru a specific number of drive cycles. A drive cycle would be the engine starts cold then fully warms up. Some codes require this to happen two times or more. Other codes require you drive the car at a specific speed for a certain length of time. Its very technical and specific.
Most manufatures answer is this for a loose gas cap:
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
• The control module turns OFF the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) after 3 consecutive ignition cycles that the diagnostic runs and does not fail.
• A current DTC, Last Test Failed, clears when the diagnostic runs and passes.
The typical gas cap code should clear after you fill up and use about 1/3 tank of gas. But like the above says 3 ignition cycles so go drive your car and let it cool down three times.
