Default Check Engine Light

Drove 2014 Camry yesterday-normal. Started it this morning, have "Check Engine Light". Drives normally, EXCEPT green "Economy" indicator is not working. Auto Zone code checker said "Replace fuel cap" which I did-no change. Anyone have any ideas? Thank You.

Need the code.

If the cap solved the issue it could take a few days of driving for the system to reset and light go off.

The Autozone code was P0455. Sorry I didn't include that. I purchased a new cap and am patiently(?) waiting for the light to go out. Thank you so much for the response.

Did the autozone person clear the code?

If not and the cap solved the issue, it could take days of driving for the light to go off.

no, he seemed to have trouble. Connected, then was unsure whether to start car or not. Finally did something(?) and got the code but did not clear it. Went into store, downloaded code, I bought new cap and left. Do I need to go back and get code cleared?

No.

Clearing the code would turn off the light. The light only coming on if the problem was not resolved.

Not clearing the code requires the computer to run a self check to determine if the problem is fixed. Then if so the light will turn off.
