You could read the codes - they're kept even with light off - then clear them. Then deliberately loosen the cap, if you wish. But probably no need as you'll likely find the code(s) is/are for an evap leak or the like. Post what you get here if you like.

AutoZone will read/clear free I hear or get a $10 elm327 from amazon/ebay.
