malfunction indicator light
this light just came on this morning - i have checked the gas cap, it was loose so i tightened it. that did not help
I researched and found out how to get the code associated with the light and it is P 0420.
What should I do now?
I dont have a lot of money to spend on repairs, but my car is under a warranty.
thanks for any help

That is the code that tends to be associated with the fuel system ...and a loose gas cap.
The code may clear itself in a couple of days. You code also purchase an OBD2 reader and clear the code yourself.
Cheers!

I certainly don't want to pick any fights, but I disagree that the post was neither informative nor helpful. If there's a warranty, the FIRST place to go for a malfunction would be where they will honor the warranty, especially for someone who expresses a financial concern. Yes, there was a note of sarcasm there. It seemed appropriate given the obvious nature of the proposed solution.
"I have a problem with my car. I have a warranty. What should I do?"

Neither dcotter0579 nor Chrysler tech have posted a response to what the code p0420 means. Do you know or not? If NOT, then keep your opinions about what I SHOULD do to yourself. Also, Chrysler tech, if you are such, your first response should've been an answer to the code, obviously you are lacking in common sense area yourself.

Here:
P0420 Error Code: Catalyst System Efficiency Below Threshold (Bank 1)
"I researched and found out how to get the code associated with the light and it is P 0420.
What should I do now?"
Your question was "What should I do now?" Next time you want to know "What is the meaning of this code?", try phrasing your question more appropriately.
