The evap system draws gas vapors originating in the gas tank from the charcoal canister located somewhere at the front of the engine compartment (not sure exactly where). It burns the vapor by feeding into the throttle body. This happens shortly after you start the engine and is controlled by the computer. It has detected a small leak somewhere on the system. (It can also detect a large leak and throw a different code. All this to keep the greeny weinees happy.

Check all the rubber hoses that may be connected to this system for leaks.
