Yes, but how does it know that its screwed on? Is there a sensor in the threads? Or does it check that the tank is pressurized? Maybe something else all together ? Somehow it has to know that the cap is on or off. If that thing is screwed on and the sensor just checks to see if there is a cap there, then it will work. if the check engine light looks for a sensor for pressure in the tank, then you better hope that it seals up real good when its closed, otherwise you'll have problems.
