If you run the code on a loose gas cap cel, what will it show? Something related to the evap. system maybe?
Probably a pending P0456 or P0457 code for a small EVAP leak detected. Most newer vehicle will flash the check gas cap message for the first time it sees the code pending and then post the hard CEL with the same code as actually posting on successive drive cycles if the small leak continues.

Why didn't mine care that the cap wasn't even on it?

I would check with your dealer and see if your VIN is on the list for the Z37 PCM reflash. Not sure what build dates it affects but mine was built in February 2022. My engine light came on as well. Ran just fine though. Took a week to get into the dealer because they were backed up. After day three, the light went off on its own. Eventually I had the PCM reprogrammed, and all is good.

And by the way, I tried the gas cap re-tighten first. My light stayed on. It could have been a coincidence that your light went out afterwards. I would still call your dealer service dept.

I have not received any notice, no one has contacted me, no card, no call, nothing, but my build date was 06/24/22 and the TSB says it applies to JTs built before 06/29/22
24 is before 29
I found 3 "pending" codes for misfires, and a shifter CAN bus code (unrelated) so I need to chat with a dealer anyway and see if my VIN is on the FCA list.
Apparently not as I've not been notified.

The CEL was for the transmission code.
But there is a history of misfires, and things that are not yet explained like the pending codes for misfires.

Shortly after I bought my '21 truck (at around 300 miles), it popped a P0455.
I tightened the gas cap. It went away and never returned.

Interesting. Maybe you have the updated PCM program already on yours being that the date is so close to the cut off? Who knows. Of course, I received no notification of the Z37 update until after I had it reprogrammed. Go figure! Dang snail mail!

Hope you are enjoying the new one! ;)

Very much enjoying. The goofy CEL, not so much, but so far, nothing earth-shattering. My wife asked "is it safe to take on our trip" and I said yeah. Annoyed, not worried.
I plan on capturing a lot of data between now and the middle of next month when we take it to FL for a couple of weeks.

My wife had a 2013 dart and when the cap was not tight after a fill-up she had to pull over and called me saying the car will not run right and was in limp mode. Told her to remove the gas cap then re tighten until you hear 3 clicks....Fixed

So I topped my jeep off at the gas pump. Re tightened my gas cap and light went off. Thanks guys!
One more thing, use a slow drip charger to reconditioned your factory batteries. Most of these vehicles sat for months before arrival to stealership.
