Have it scanned. Other trouble in the fuel system can set that message.

This is a Check engine msg it will clear it self after few days if there is no more issue but it will not clear it self right away . You can use a scan too to clear it.

Maybe a previous owner removed the fuel pump to replace it or possibly fix the fuel gauge sender - - and didn't get the fuel pump gasket sealed properly. That could have the same effect as a bad gas cap seal...............

The flap at the top of my fuel filler neck got bent by one of those wonderful EPA-compliant gas cans. My mechanic bent it a little more to allow the fuel nozzle to enter. I've replaced my cap and still get the message. Is it possible the flap is causing the issue?

Please keep in mind this didn't happen right after the damage; I started getting the message a month and a half later.

Can be flap issue or can be another small leak . best thing to do is do smog test.

Did that. No change. The only code showing is 0410, which is the smog pump. Does anyone have other ideas? Could I have a defective new fuel cap? Don't scoff, I got a bad new OEM fuel pump...
