What does a po496 code mean? why is engine light on? When I purchase a gas cap will this solve the problem? How can i fix it without seeing a dealer? 2006 cadillac cts 3.6 engine

The code insinuates that your purge valve has problems and probably needs to be replaced. Rather difficult to explain the repair but I did manage to find what you need to do on video.
