I have a 2001 hyundai elantra with a p0440 code.I replaced the PCV valve & hose,cleaned/tightened gas cap,tested manifold vacuum[is good],replaced rear charcoal cannister & pressure sensor valve,replaced all hoses & clamps,replaced map sensor.The engine light still will not go off!!!!!!!!!!!!!

code p0440 refers to EVAP system malfunction==causes hose connections---intake leak---EVAP canister purge valve

check for vacuum leaks (vents -auto control-manifold-brake booster etc). Check for cracked /loose hoses on the tank/filler neck

Hello and welcome to FixYa!
As a first course of action, I strongly suggest that you remove the positive battery connector and let it sit for atleast 5mins. or more before reconnecting it. This will reset the system and can get it back to it's normal operation.
Hope this helps and thank you for using FixYa! Have a good one!

P0440 - Evaporative Emission Control System Malfunction

This indicates that a part of the EVAP control system is no longer fuctioning correctly. The EVAP system consists of many parts, including (but not limited to) the gas cap, fuel lines, carbon canister, purge valve, and other hoses. The (EVAP) emission control system prevents the escape of fuel vapors from a vehicle's fuel system. Fuel vapors are routed by hoses to a charcoal canister for storage. Later, when the engine is running a purge control valve opens allowing intake vacuum to siphon the fuel vapors into the engine.

Symptoms: You likely won't notice any drivability problems.

Causes: 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

Possible Solutions: With a P0440 OBD-II trouble code, diagnosis can be tricky at times. Here are some things to try:
Remove and reinstall the gas cap, clear the code, and drive for a day and see if the codes come back.
Inspect the EVAP system for cuts/holes in tubes/hoses
Inspect for damaged or disconnected hoses around the Evap purge solenoid
Check and/or replace the sensor
Check and/or replace the purge valve
Have a professional use a smoke machine to detect leaks

Hope helps.

tightening your gas cap can sometimes fix this problem. Think if the light came on after buying gas.
If not it's usually the rubber seal around the gas cap. Just measure and replace with a similar rubber seal available at any hardware/auto parts store.

could be a vacuum leak,check all hoses and intake,better if you have a shop use a smoker.

code p 0440 refers to the EVAP system --purge valve malfunction
check wiring and replace the purge valve

What does that mean?
