It's good you replaced the gas cap on your 2009 Lincoln MKX, but since the gas cap light and check engine light are both still on, there could be a few reasons:

Incomplete Reset: Even though you replaced the gas cap, the check engine light might not reset itself immediately. Sometimes, driving for a few cycles (filling up the tank and using a significant amount of gas) is enough for the computer to recognize everything is sealed and turn off the light. Try driving the car for a few days and see if the light goes out on its own.

EVAP System Issue: The Evaporative Emission Control System (EVAP) includes the gas cap, but also other components like the charcoal canister and purge valve. A fault in one of these parts could still be causing a leak, triggering the light.

Here's what you can try:

Check Gas Cap Seal: Make sure the gas cap is clicked shut properly and not loose or damaged. A snug fit is crucial.

Consult Manual: Your owner's manual might have a troubleshooting section for the gas cap light and check engine light. It might suggest additional checks or a reset procedure specific to your MKX.

If the light remains on after a few days and you're not comfortable troubleshooting further, it's best to take your Lincoln MKX to a mechanic or qualified repair shop. They can diagnose the problem using a scan tool to identify any trouble codes stored by the car's computer. This will pinpoint the exact cause of the warning lights and recommend the necessary repairs.
