Default Check engine light on......

My wife's check engine light came on and naturally the manual says to call the dealership(because something is wrong in emissions), which in turn says to bring the car in for inspection. A friend asked me if I had recently filled the tank, and if I had, to check to see if the fuel cap was on tight. I tightened it and lo and behold the check engine light went off. What an unnecessary waste of time/expense that would have been............
