Default Check light

I got the dreaded check engine light. PO 449 and PO 455.
>Evaporative Emission System (EVAP) control system has a very large leak such as fuel filler cap fell off, EVAP control system does not operate properly.<

I'll check the gas cap, again. But any thing else to check?

My gas cap is Super loose and would fall out if the hatch was open. It has not thrown a code yet however. Is a loose gas cap a common malady of 2012 C6?

Just replace the cap. Aftermarket ones seem to work best. Its cheap and effective.

Last 449 code I got proved to be the evap solenoid. You can replace yourself or have dealer do it (and harness) for way too much money

Thanks all.
I will check/ change the cap first. Next step will be the evap solenoid.
