Most likely the purge solenoid crapped out. Warranty it.

Look on the left of the intake. There will be a steel line running with a purge cap on top. Mine popped off but they gave me a new one under warranty. It is not a problem to drive with it off; it is simply fior emissions

Mine was completely off and had a CEL, but it went away before I did anything. I got it replaced anyway
