Yep, no gas cap. But that does not mean that the capless receptacle is not damaged in one way or another and thus cannot keep vapors from escaping.

A major reason why you should never forget to put the gas handle back onto the pump. The force of the gas spigot still in the receptacle could be more than powerful enough to do some serious damage.

By gas cap, I assume you mean fuel filler door? If it was partially open, that would make the code pop up. It's the equivalent of having the gas cap off.
