You would need your diagram that shows your fuse locations and values- replacing a fuse that is not blown can not hurt at all so just replace them both with the same values, if you are unsure putting a smaller size will not hurt, if its too small it will simply blow and when you replace it you know to go higher, you can also call chevy and ask they can give you the values or check the owners manual

SOURCE: P0440 Evaporative Emission Control

You need a charcoal canister and vent control valve.

You also need the EGR solenoid valve (I think it the brown one).

Valve is located in the valley of the V, towards the transmission side of engine.

Do these 1st and reset light. You may have other issues but you have to start here.

SOURCE: P0449 Evaporative Emission Control System Vent

While looking for the location of the vent/solenoid for you, I came across a blog that said this error can be caused by a loose or faulty gas cap. You may want to look at that first and possibly solving the problem. Replace the cap, get autoparts store to reset the code and see what happens.

SOURCE: code po449 States "Evaporative emission control

Check engine P codes. GM uses an EVAP solenoid that is located under most vehicles near the gas tank and connects to the charcoal filter can. Codes can be set and will drive you crazy trying to figure out if you have a bad gas cap, broke lines---this is where they try to get you to do a smoke test, or you just think the vehicle is no good.

Relax, it is usually an easy fix and one GM has known about for years but continues to make easy money off people who cannot do basic maintenance. Now one code that comes up is usually P0449, along with maybe a warning to check the gas cap to see if it is on tight. Chevrolet will gladly read this code out for you for around $98.00 and then fix it for another around $100.00 which includes the EVAP part which if you buy at their parts dept. will cost you $32.00 and my dealership parts man told me they sell one a day! It is easy money for them and obviously a defective part they keep using for the last 10 or 15 years but hey, its money in their pocket. Here is how to fix it with ONE single common screwdriver!

Get under the vehicle after putting on the parking brake and if you a little hefty, then removing the spare tire on the some vehicles will give you lots more room. The EVAP solenoid is easy to spot near the gas tank and it has one electric connector which disconnects by releasing the plastic clip and pulling the connector out. It also has ONE air line connected which goes to the charcoal cannister which also can be removed with the one screwdriver. The whole EVAP solenoid and air can can be removed with the screwdriver which makes it easier to unpolug the electric and air line. Get a replacement from the dealer as they certainly are familar with this part as they sell LOTS of them. Then just go under and plug the new one in and the problem is solved. Now if you do not have a tool to reset the codes, try the local parts places as most of them will do a reset for you. If you do not have someone to do it, it can be done simply be removing the RED, positive lead off the battery and wait a minute and then plug it back in. The codes are reset but of course now you have to reset the radio and clock stuff.

Hope helps (remember to rate this answer).

I think you need to test all your fuses with a voltmeter to see which one is fried and then replace them. Also, you may have fried the wire leading to your fuel pump. I would check that as well.

How do i get rid of the low tire pressure light on a 2001 chevy impala 3.6liter 6cyl?

Put air in whichever tire is low and the light should go off. Use a manual tire pressure gauge to find out which tire needs the air.
