Oh crap! These EECS (evapourative emissions control system) codes can be a cramp.

- First thing to check is indeed the cap.
- Your car is in the production window that used to suffer cracked filler tubes.
- Sometimes overfilling the car can saturate the carbon canister & cause these codes.
- Check all connections related to fuel & fuel vapour.
- If all else fails then get the dealer to smoke test the system. They use a fuel safe smoke generator - I do not recommend you do this yourself.

See pics & pdfs for further detail.
