I noticed I forgot to put my gas cap back on when I got home from work about 9 miles. This truck if the gas caps off the engine lights should come on right away so why would it not come on?

it has to fail the evap test 3 times. the test only runs after an 8 hour cold soak. it would take a day or to to be turned on.
