thank you for the question hope this helps

P0440 is the evap emissions control system failure, sometimes caused by a loose or defective fuel cap, faulty purge solenoid, or a leak somewhere in the vapor control system.

check and or replace the fuel cap.. this is common if the fuel cap is not tight
