Check engine light after engine service

Indy replaced oil filter housing gasket, coolant hose, drive belt. Now this code is lit up. I'm assuming a connector was not reset properly but I have no idea where to look. Any ideas?

Here is the odbii code for this. P11c6. Found a thread and another forum where a person was debugging a similar type of issue. He got the p11C6 code when he pulled a connector from one of the sensors.

This assembly is by the throttle body. This makes sense because The service done likely included cleanup of oil on the manifold in this area and likely resulted in an open connector. Once the weather is warm I'll see if I can access this connector and clean it up and reseat. Hopefully that will fix it.

Here is the text from the referenced post:
, I unplugged one of two sensors on fuel vent valve assembly and received p11c6.

Well the weather is warm I spent some time looking to fix this. I pulled the two connectors on the vapor canister purge valve. Just in front of the throttle body. There was oil in the connectors. I sprayed contact cleaner on both sides of both connectors and reset the code and the problem is solved. I'm glad I didn't have to remove the throttle body.

Congrats! Always great when there's an easy fix.
