It may take a few cycles to clear if it is the gas cap. It may need a new cap, or it could be something else.
Hopefully the C5 guys that have had similar issues can help you out .
Good Luck

If it is the gas cap being loose, then yes, it could take a few cycles to clear the check engine light. But it is a good suggestion to check for any codes on the DIC.

When you put the cap back on, turn it to the right until you've heard 3 or 4 clicks. As said before, it may take time to clear. Pulling all of the codes is a good thing to do. If the car is new to you, I'd probably clear them all and start from scratch.
How to check and clear codes:
Record all modules and codes then check the link below for what
the codes are
