I had the same thing happen to me yesterday. I went to an Auto Palace and borrowed their Code Scanner. It read "P0420" which is "Catalyst Efficient Below Threshold Bank 1". The last time I had this code appear it was because the gas cap was not sufficiently tight.
Coincidently, the previous day I had my bi-annual car inspection, so I figured that the inspector simply didn't tighten the gas cap. Using the tool, I cleared the error code, and then I removed and re tightened the gas cap. After the restart, the error has not returned. It's only been a day, so it's hard to say if that was it, but I've had this happen before with the same conclusion.
Good Luck,
KevinH
