Hi guys,

I'm looking at triggering a manual DTC. The easiest way to do so, is by starting the engine without a fuel cap. But is this safe?

It may cause blink the Oil Pressure or Engine icon to appear/blink due to evaporation or mixing of air in the fuel.

Additionally it may damage the oil filter due to dust and other particles entering the tank while driving.
