EVAP Emission Control System Leak (Small). First place to look would be the fuel cap, if it is on correctly and tight, replace the cap with a new one.
My answer is if you still have a reacurring code after you buy a new gas cap, it could be the check valve on your gas tank, It could be a cracked hose from the charcoal canister, it could be that the o-ring for the vent selenoid is bad and needs to be replaced.

After making any necessary repairs, you can clear the code using an OBD-II scanner. Alternatively, disconnecting the car battery for about 15 minutes may also reset the code, but this method will clear all stored codes and data. Always ensure to drive the vehicle for a complete drive cycle to confirm the issue is resolved.
