Thank you, TeGGeR (and Don). My car never had any accident. I'll try
using my 2003 Honda Odyssey gas cap and see if the problem goes away.
The check engine light came on before April's inspection and went away.
So I'm afraid the gas cap is OK or it would be found defective in the
inspection.

I called the local dealer. They told me there's no such
federally-mandated warranty except for oxygen sensor or catalytic
converter. I told them the cat converter was replaced in 2004 under
warranty just before it expired. He doesn't seem to know much about
these expiration dates.
