Basically if the check engine light goes off it means the fault is not permanent and not consistent. The fault came and after so many cycles the PCM said there's a problem and it lit up the check engine lite. After so many cycles of the fault correcting itself the PCM then stopped the light from being on. Nevertheless the PCM always usually records this fault in its history of faults for retrieval later on via a scanner

== I have heard that sometimes if the gas cap is not on tightly, or the door to the gas cap is not completely closed, that the check engine light may come on. Perhaps it settles after a few days after going over a few bumps.
