Your new locking cap is no good. Does the dealer offer one? If so get that one. Your new cap is not sealing.
Locking gas caps aren't recommended on fuel injected cars cause of fuel emmissions what's going on is it is loosing pressure that the car needs to run clean emmissions if you live in california you can have your gas cap tested by a smog tech to make sure it is gonna do what it should
Newer vehicles require a much tighter seal on the fuel systems. If the new cap you put on doesn't seal properly it will set of a check engine light. Put your old cap back on and after a few starts and shutdowns it should clear the code by itself. You could try turning the new cap a bit tighter, but I would bet it won't seal properly.
Your fuel system is a sealed system and part of the emission system also.If the gas cap is not tight or the seal has gone bad on the cap it will set a light.
