    You put the original gas cap back on, but you just didnt clear the code in the ECU. That's why the light was still on.

    I'm surprised nobody has told you to get a code scanner to read and clear the codes. :)

    2012 DCSB 73k, these just popped up. Truck starts to sputter at 20-40mph, cleaned throttle body, cleaned mass air flow sensor with correct spray then changed out sensor. Changed out plugs to brand new OEM plugs, I even gave the gas caps a few extra clicks
