You should have a manual for your truck...your manual has the explanation for each indication that would possibly appear on dash.

It means the PCM has detected a large evap leak that would be equivalent to a loose gas cap. So your evaporative emission system has a leak, could be the gas cap but could be something else.

Maybe you ran over something in the road and broke your evap canister? or lines? or plastic got old and brittle, then cracked?
