Default check engine light

I have a jeep grand Cherokee Laredo. The check engine light keeps coming on. I had it checked out and had a Evap leak fixed. The light has come back on and the mechanic said everything was fixed. Please help

Your mechanic didn't scan to see which code/codes were tripped? If not take it to your local parts dealer who will do it for free. Advance Auto,Auto Zone,etc.

Might need a new gas cap...

If the light came back on, did the mechanic check to see what code it is?
If it is the EVAP still throwing CEL code he didnt fix it then.

Or he forgot to clear the code? try to disconnect the battery for about ten mins, hook the bat back up and see if the Check engine code comes back..

If it comes back do like EZ said.>>take it to your local parts dealer who will do it for free. Advance Auto,Auto Zone,etc.
