Hi, your EVAP vent valve is likely stuck closed. The valve is under the car near the fuel tank. Remove the valve and check to see if it's stuck. You may be able to restore operation by cleaning the valve with carb cleaner. The valve should be open when no voltage is applied. I have pasted instructions below from autozone.com. Please let me know if you have any questions, and thanks for using FixYa.

After filling the gas tank on my 2001 Cadillac Seville STS, the "check engine soon" light came on. I took the gas cap off and re-tightened it. The light is still on.
The fact that the light came on has nothing to do with filling your tank. The light is pre-programmed to come on following a combination of time, mileage and on some makes the usage profile, and it's telling you to get the engine serviced soon. After the service, the vehicle will need to be connected to a suitably-equipped computer to have the service light indicator reset. If you check in your Cadillac owners' handbook, the service section will give you details of which service items need to be attended to at the age and mileage of your vehicle. If it's just a simple oil and filters service then you may decide that you can do this yourself easily and save money. If there's more to the job, you can decide what you're comfortable doing yourself and then get a garage to do the rest: the less you leave to the garage, the lower the bill.

Ignoring the light will simply mean that your engine eventually has a breakdown which can be extremely expensive.

2002 chevy cavalier p0440 and service light is on
that is fuel tank evap related code.
It can be caused by simply removing the gas cap while the engine is running.
Dont get too concerned with this code if you think you may have opened the cap while car was running, the computer will soon turn the light off if all is well.
Other things Like ta cracked or faulty gas cap, The evap purge canister or hoses loose or cracked, filler neck hoses loose or cracked ,damaged orings on evap sensor. could also cause this code.
They often use a special smoke machine to diagnose leaks in the tank and evap system.
The special machine fills tank with smoke at 2 psi making it posible to spot leaks.
Hope this helps.
If it does dont forget to leave a comment.

"Service enging soon" light stays on....
This could be a number of things causing this ...most common is that after you fill up the gas cap is not fully tightened...make sure it "clicks" 3 times while turning.The other common problem is that the gasket on the gas cap is old and thus does not seal the tank/fuel filler area...check with replacing the cap.If neither correct then you will need to bring to a service center or dealer to run a code check...maybe a bad O2 sensor or a code for the transmission.
