If checking the gas cap fixed it, the system still needs a few start and run cycles to clear the code. You must either wait for this or clear the code with a reader. My point is that unless you read the codes, fixing something that causes a light will not turn off the light right away. The system is designed to go through a few cycles in order to make sure that the condition is really gone.
