Hi, Robert

The engine check light just came on in my 2019 Nissan Rogue. A friend was in the car at the time and thought there was a smell of gas: he said this could be due to an EVAP leak. Can you explain what that is?

Thanks,
Kelly

Hi, Kelly!

The evaporative emission control system (EVAP) keeps harmful gasoline fumes from escaping your 2019 Nissan Rogueâ€™s tank: this helps to reduce air pollution. From how youâ€™ve described it, itâ€™s possible your car has a leak.

The most common cause of this problem is when people don't close or tighten their gasoline caps correctly or tightly. This is often the case if the check engine light comes on right after you fill up.

The first thing you need to do is check that your tank's cap is properly secured. If it is, there might be a more serious issue with your vehicle. Itâ€™s possible that thereâ€™s a leak in your hose system or a defective purge valve.

If you can't find out what the problem is by yourself, call down to our Service Department and let the Technicians have a look.

Thanks for the question, Kelly. Contact Kirkland Nissan, Washington again if you need anything else.
