Same thing happened to me yesterday. I didn't realize I didn't put the gas cap back on the car from filling it up on Tuesday after work. I drove the car from the gas station to home ~30 miles, then drove the car to work the next morning ~45 miles without a light on the entire way. As soon as I got to my car after work yesterday I noticed the gas cap was open lol. I closed it and started the car, then BAM! CEL! Limp mode, no cruise control.

Took it to the dealership, they reset the code and told me to remember the gas cap next time.
