evaporative emissions controls are to prevent gasoline from evaporating and escaping into the environment. The system includes your gas cap, as well as other components to prevent gasoline vapors from escaping. Many vehicles use a charcoal-filled canister to absorb gasoline vapors.
The first thing to check would be your gas cap...

always tighten at least 3 clicks or it says right on the cap that the check engine light can come on.
