Default Check Engine Light- PO451 code question

I have had this code on three times in the two months I've had the car. It came on twice after I washed the car- it is the gas cap pressure code I think. I have erased it with my scanner tool and it stays off for a while...but I suspect it will go back on again. Has any one else had this problem and is there a permanent fix without taking it back to the dealer? No mods yet, BTW, but coming soon.

Thanks in advance.

Jack

Did you check your cap to make sure it has a good seal?

Code 0451 is Fuel tank pressure (FTP) Sensor performance ECM. If it was the cap the DIC would say check gas cap. I would take it to the dealer.

Had same problem. Off for couple weeks, now almost daily. How can it be gas cap loose when you don't have gas cap?
