Hello: P0496 deals with the evap system. You have to have a scan tool to clear the code. But if you don't repair the problem the light will come back on. Other than checking the wiring and connector you will need a scan tool to diagnose it.

What is a p0496 error on a 2006 buick lacrosse cxs

The P0496 DTC code is a generic code which applies to all vehicle makes. A quick search on the 'net shows that this code seems to be more common with GM (Chevy, Pontiac, etc.) vehicles. In Acura, Honda, Hyundai, Kia, and Mazda vehicles, this code is described "EVAP system high purge flow" which is the same thing.
