Hey man, this happened to me, too. When did you put gas in the tank? You should check to make sure your gas cap is securely fitted and tightened. If it was loose, not tight enough or off-thread and you retighten it, the check engine light should go out after a small period of time. I cleared my own with my DS Trinity. I know, tightening the gas cap all the way seems like a no-brainer...but sometimes if we're in a hurry or whatever, we won't tighten it the 3 clicks like the manual says and we don't even realize it.

If its not, there are a few issues with EVAP solenoids and vents. This can be data logged by SCT PID. Plenty of threads around on it. Does it only happen at certain times? Is the engine sluggish or shutting off at all?
