Sorry but I can't help with the info you provided. Can you possibly post the numerical codes? That would make it easier to decipher their meaning, or possible cause.

A loose gas cap OR a faulty gas cap is suspect for any evaporative leak code.

There are plenty of other possibilities, but start by verifying/replacing that gas cap.

As mentioned, always best to post the EXACT code number or numbers. With OBD technology, the devil is definitely in the details.
