There is no way to reset the check engine light on the 2013 Chrysler 200. It comes on when there is something wrong with the car, but it can be caused by just about anything. Due to this, it is not worth Your time hunting down a random issue unless it is something very obvious that has gone wrong. The best thing to do is take the car to a mechanic and let them scan it with an OBD tool. This will allow them to read the trouble code and tell You where the problem is. Once You know that You can go about getting it fixed, which will turn off the light. One thing to check however is the gas cap and fuel door. If the cap is missing or the door is open then the light will come on. This is a silly thing to go to the mechanic over, so make sure You check it first.

Depending upon the cause of the check engine light going on, there could be a simple fix to turn it off by resetting the computer. E.g., if it's a fuel vapor leak, after cleaning the gas cap with WD-40 and coating the cap with Vaseline, remove and reinsert the engine control module fuse (no. 33?) with the ignition in the on position and that should reset the car's computer and turn the engine light off.

For 1you can clear the engine light. Turn your ignition to the in position."rabidly" pull out fuse #33 and reinsert it. Then turn ignition off then engine light should be cleared.( I have done this before) for two if it's a fuel vapor leak spraying any kind of chemical in isn't smart. Duh. It could very well be just your "fuel vapor leak detection pump" very easy to replace. (Look on YouTube) for three just because your gas cap light / warning came on does not mean you always have a fuel leak .. It could be your gas cap is not in properly and it's loose or it could mean that you just need a new gas cap. With all that said. If your engine light comes on you can take your vehicle to your local AutoZone (if you have one) and they will put a code reader on your car and let you know the possible issues on why your engine light is on. They do not charge you, it is completely free. Some of these comments on here are far from knowledgeable. Please contact a ligit mechanic who may be able to help you out or give you better advice..

The 2013 chrysler 200 gas cap light means there is a fuel leak. You should put the gas cap back on and continue driving slowly, the light should go out. If it does not then you have a leak in the fuel line and will need to call for a tow. You can also loose the cap.
