Replaced switch/purge solenoid. Check engine light remained. Do I need to clear the code, or will the code clear itself after normal driving cycle?

If I clear code and code comes back what are some other avenues to troubleshoot?

The gas cap is not loose and seal is still good condition.

Yes, you do need to clear the code this video will show you how:

Here is information on the code:

The P0496 code is a generic powertrain code that indicates an evaporative emission system high purge flow error.
