Don't guess, check the CEL diag codes. If you don't have a code reader, you should probably get one - they're like $20-$30 bucks on Amazon. Or, go to Autozone/Oreillys and have them read the codes for free. They'll even tell you what the codes mean and at least suggest some likely causes. It may have nothing to do with your gas cap.
Since the CEL is on, it's likely not the zero point calibration (a bad ZPC won't light the CEL). When the system detects a diag code, it lights the CEL. It also disables the VSC/TRAC system because the engine is in limp mode and the VSC software doesn't know how to compensate for the reduced engine performance. So, your CEL is pointing to the cause, while the VSC and TRAC lights are just side effects.
Short answer - figure out the cause of the CEL first.
