Check Engine Soon light. Possible cause?

Day before yesterday, I filled her up and didn't turn off the engine until after I opened the gas cap. Yesterday, I noticed a Check Engine Soon light. Are our cars overly sensitive to doing something like not turning off the engine while we pump gas?

The shop showed a DTME fault (or something along that line...). I didn't want to wait an hour for them to run a full diagnostic search for the cause. I figured I'd wait to see if it happens again after the next fill up. And, next time, I'll turn off the engine BEFORE I open the gas cap.
