Check engine light

Mine is on the third time.....this is getting a little old now.

damn i bought mine saturday and the check engine light went on. I called my dealership and they said that it was probably the gas cap and that whoever pumped up my gas probably didn't click it enough. I sure hope it's not an emissions leak... oh it happened at 120miles (2 days later).

I've had the leak detection pump replaced and my gas cap modified. Let's see what Mazda suggests now. I hope they come up with a fix soon.

6500 miles, and no CEL. (knocks on wood).

I examined the gas cap, and there's no thread damage like I've heard on others. Somebody said that the bad caps were on early cars delivered to the west coast only.

I bought mine in mid-June, but I purchased mine on the East coast. Still having a bunch of CEL issues.

Just signed the papers for mine today and insisted when I pick up the vehicle next week that it already HAVE the new gas cap and latest TCM/PCM updates. Salesperson confirmed with service department and said no problem.

Sorry to hear about your CEL. They will get that issue sorted out, and hopefully it won't be too much of a hassle in a month or so. My new 6 is smooth, and by now I'm sure that all the bugs are worked out. Sitting in it was almost like coming home again.

150 miles CEL, gas cap replaced now at 280 no problems on my cx

I got mine fixed and they just had to replace the gas cap

 

[tomkit]

8000 miles and CEL...I wonder what it is, bringing it in tomorrow to get it fixed...

CEL back on this morning at 3,444 miles. What gives since my dealer claim they replace the gas cap??

Dealer replace the gas cap AGAIN yesterday. Hope no more CEL on anymore.

Gas cap replaced today...will see if that fixes the issue. I have a radio problem....goes out for a few seconds randomly throughout the day. Thought it was just the Sirius but it happens on CD's and radio.

Well my chk engine light came on last night then today the light was on & the tcs light is stuck on. They have no clue why the tcs light is stuck and believe that the chk engine light is due to the gas cap. No appointments available until 12/12 (ughdance)


Of coures they think that it's no big deal!!!

Thats crazy last few posts from IL we get a good/bad batch? J/K keep us posted on your fix. Mine was a gas cap no biggie they had mine scanned/cap replaced 20 min in/out up here.

I made sure on my survey I noted this emission stuff concerns me I'm sure if all of us note this or call Mazda they will speed up these revisions. First year hick-ups not too bad I've had way worse with New Mitsubishi Sedans/Suvs over the last 10 years.

Mine just came on at 4400 miles. It went off for one day and now its on again. The service guy said it may be a defective gas cap. I hope it is.
Will find out Monday.

Just read on another Mazda forum:

I was told by my dealer that there is a recall on all '07 CX-7s involving a part that is causing the cold-weather Check Engine Lights. He wasn't sure exactly what part was suspect but he said it wasn't the gas cap. I'll post more as I find out.

Interesting. I had problems with the radio button lights flickering Friday night... only thing different about that night was 1) It was way colder than it has been (below freezing) and 2) I played with the power-window lock-out button. Wonder if the cold weather related check-engine light thing could also be related to the radio button lights flickering.
