I had this problem with my 06. The solenoid in the charcoal canister located next to the drive tube under the car went bad. I got a fault code for no current being drawn by the solenoid.

Same here on my 2008. I think it was a p0446. Retrieve the code at autozone or get a code reader and do a search for the error on here. You will get some good ideas.

Try removing and reseating the cap. The check engine light will not reset immediately but will go away after driving the car awhile if that was the problem. A new cap could also cure the problem.

There are several checks for fuel system leaks and many causes of failures. The most likely is a loose cap and that will reset after 10 cold starts after you tighten the cap. Get a $25 code reader and find out what the problem is and, if it is just the cap, the reader can also reset the code and light.
Do NOT just start replacing parts until you identify which of the dozens of parts is causing your particular fault. That can get to be very expensive since there are at least 10 codes that could be set and each has a different cause and sequence of components to check and possibly repair or replace. Just replacing solenoids and piping and modules at random could be well over $500 by the time you replace them all. But it most likely a loose $10 gas cap.
