What is OBD code P0440?

Answer 1

Your most likely culprits are going to be a loose, damaged gas cap, vent or purge solenoid, evap canister, or fuel pressure sensor. Other than the gas cap, I believe all of these items are dealer only.

Evaporative Emission Control System Malfunction

A code P0440 could mean one or more of the following has happened:

• The gas cap is not installed or working properly
• The purge solenoid has failed
• The canister is plugged and not working properly
