What engine does it have ?
Engine Controls - 4.3L
Engine Controls - 4.8L, 5.3L, and 6.0L
DTC P0440 Evaporative Emission (EVAP) System
Circuit Description
The evaporative system includes the following components:
• The fuel tank
• The evaporative emission (EVAP) vent solenoid
• The fuel tank pressure sensor
• The fuel pipes and hoses
• The vapor lines
• The fuel cap
• The evaporative emission canister
• The purge lines
• The EVAP purge solenoid
The evaporative leak detection diagnostic strategy is based on applying a vacuum to the EVAP system and monitoring the vacuum decay rate. The vehicle control module (VCM) monitors the vacuum level via the fuel tank pressure sensor input. At an appropriate time, the EVAP purge solenoid and the EVAP vent solenoid turn ON, allowing the engine vacuum to draw a small vacuum on the entire evaporative emission system. If a sufficient vacuum level cannot be achieved, a large leak or a malfunctioning EVAP purge solenoid is indicated. The following conditions can cause this problem:
• A disconnected or malfunctioning fuel tank pressure sensor
• A missing, malfunctioning, improperly installed, or loose fuel cap
• A disconnected, damaged, pinched, or blocked EVAP purge line
• A disconnected or damaged EVAP vent hose
• A disconnected, damaged, pinched, or blocked fuel tank vapor line
• A disconnected or malfunctioning EVAP purge solenoid
• A disconnected or malfunctioning EVAP vent solenoid
• An open ignition feed circuit to the EVAP vent or purge solenoid
• A damaged EVAP canister
• A leaking fuel sender assembly O-ring
• A leaking fuel tank or fuel filler neck
Any of the above conditions can set a DTC P0440.

SOURCE: fault code p0440 CHevy venture

I had that exact code a couple weeks ago. Mine needed new oxygen sensors. They(there are 2, only one was throwing a code, but I had both replaced) cost a little over $100 to have replaced.

SOURCE: Fault codes

P0449 - Evaporative Emission (EVAP) Vent Solenoid Control Circuit
P0481 - Cooling Fan Relay 2 Control Circuit
It is not uncommon for the canister vent solenoid to go out.More then likely this is the correction for this issue.The second problem could be addressed by verifying that the second fan is not coming on and whether or not the fan is receiving any power.Turning the a/c on normally forces the second fan to come on.If it does not a wiring diagram may be necessary to check different points for power.Would start at the relay itself to verify power is going to and through the relay. You can also swap an identical relay with the fan relay just to test if the relay itself is malfunctioning.If it works after that then you need a replacement relay for that circuit.If it still does not work you will need to find out where the power stops flowing in that circuit.

SOURCE: what cause code p0440 to

There could be a leak in the tank somewhere. It may just be the gas cap not tightly connected. Check the canister for loose connections or the hoses in the area.

2000 chevy impala codep0440 ck hoses n change gas cap still code come back

Hi there:
There is a TSB about this fault code, you will need to check or replace harnesses connections.

The EVAP solenoid harness may be misrouted around the rear antilock brake (ABS) wire harness causing a chaff/damage to the EVAP vent solenoid harness, setting DTC P0440.



Hope this helps; also keep in mind that your feedback is important and I`ll appreciate your time and consideration if you leave some testimonial comment about this answer.

Thank you for using FixYa, have a nice day.

This is usually an oxygen sensor, replace the O2 sensor located above the catalytic converter before replacing the evaporator purge canister.
