Default CEL light

The CEL light came one yesterday on my way too work, the message system said gas cap tighten, which I did, however its still on, will this take a few starts for it too clear it self?

Welcome to the forum, yes the system will need to check it a couple of times before it clears... you can also have it cleared with a code reader or at your local auto parts store or disconnect the battery for several minutes... performing the later will also reset your radio time and may cause the vehicle drive a bit differently until it goes through a learning period of a couple of drive cycles....
