OBDII will trigger the Check Engine light if the gas cap isn't on all the way. If you get a check engine light you're supposed to take it to a certified mechanic and have them check it and reset the light. Auto Zone can check it. I've also had them reset the light for me after I tightened the gas cap. The gas cap is part of the evaporative emissions system.
