I have a 2002 Saturn L100 with 25000 Klms on it. Ileft the gas cap off for
250 Klms and the engine service light came on. I replaced the gas cap and
the light will not go off . What will turn it off.

If that's the only reason that the light came on, enough on-off cycles
without the problem should do it. Not sure what that number is for your
car.

Disconnect the battery terminal {+} for a minute, then put it back on. This
will reset the SES light.
Quickest way to do it.

I agree this should do a reset, but this may cause additional issues such as
requiring reset of the security code in the radio, loss of pre-set stations,
etc. It also may run and shift rough till the computer re-learns the
appropriate settings.

Thanks to all. I disconnected the battery cable for a few minutes and then
reconnected it, started the car and the light was off. I had to reset my
radio stations.

From what I've heard, Saturns (unlike many other manufacturers) will self
reset the check engine light afer several engine run cycles. It may take a
week though.
Rather than pull the battery cable, I found on my '01 lw300, I can pull the
'controls B+' fuse for 20 seconds and reset the sevice lamp. This does not
loose the radio presets.
