Assuming that the CAGS eliminator didn't slip loose and it's not faulty, you shouldn't get codes. I know this sounds silly.. but the RUNNING AWAY number one reason on all cars for a check engine light.... the gas cap. Make sure it's tight and if the error persists have them check it for leaks. I had a bad gas cap (broken ratchet, wouldn't seal) on a new car once, had to practically beat them over the head and make the service rep walk out to the car with me and PROVE to them that after 24 years of driving I'm capable of closing my gas cap.. they finally believed me and I haven't seen the CEL since.

I had continual check engine light and had to go to another dealer to convince them I knew how to screw cap on. My problem turn out to be a broken end of the line that connects the 2 fuel tanks - had to take tons of stuff apart to fix.
Don't know why service departments treat people like idiots on problems such as this. 1 time maybe but when it is happening all the time?
