Correct.
Make sure your gas cap is on tight (at least 3 clicks after closing). Also check that cap is clean (no dust or dirt in the inside-rubber? gasket). Then erase codes and if CEL comes on again, post the new codes.
Refer to this TSB 03-20-3 with the first line stating to check for a loose fuel cap first.

To rest PCM,
Pull Fuses 4 and 11 (in the Power Distribution Box next to the battery) for a few minutes. Of course, if the cap is loose, it will come on again after a few drive cycles.
