Even if you have the gas cap on tight, it'll show the code from the time it was run and failed (the time the car was turned on when the gascap was loose or off). You're gonna have to clear the code yourself. It might clear itself, though. I know GM cars clear the gas cap code after 100 ignition cycles with no failures or something like that.

I suppose it could be the sensor itself. This code looks like its complaining about a low input signal. If I had to guess, it looks like a check of the sensor itself. Not even sure where its located. Possibly in the tank itself. If it were me, I would try a cap first. Easiest thing to do.
