How do you get the check engine lite to go out caused by a loose gas cap on 2001 Kia sportage?

1. Ensure that the gas cap is properly tightened.

2. Drive the vehicle for several miles to allow the vehicle's computer to reset.

3. If the check engine light remains on, disconnect the negative battery terminal for several minutes and then reconnect it.

4. If the check engine light is still on after this, you may need to have the vehicle's computer reset by a mechanic.
