Check Engine light came on Sunday. The code that came up with it was P0440. Does anyone know what this code means. Tried calling the dealer and left a message. Has anyone had this problem?

I think it was just my gas cap. I got gas on Tuesday night and the MIL light went off Wednesday night. Thank you for your help. I hope that was the problem considering I only have 46,000 on it.

P1491 code - Mystery continues. by texmiller

I have a 2002 dodge Ram 1500 w/ 109,000miles on it. I haven't had any trouble whats-so-ever until just this past week.
 
I was on my way to get my inspection done and got a ticket for it. As I was driving my engine light came on so I ran to the auto parts store and they read a P1491. So I have done what you guys have said on the replacement of the AC rely - engine light is still on. Took the battery - and + off and then replaced the rely. Still on.
I talked to the dealer and they said it could be anything. Odd?
 
So, I have noticed that my AC is not running right at all. It does blow air but when at a light it is moist air and then when driving over 25mph it becomes cold again. I thought I might need to recharge the AC and I had it checked it was okay.
 
What should I do? What else should I check?
 PLEASE HELP.

Thanks I wrote down what you guys have told other people in the past about fixing a P1491 on a DodgeRam .
 
1. on-off-on-off-on = worked for me and told me what was wrong.
2. Checked the fuse #39 - it was broken- replaced it.
 (this still didn't get ride of the engine light.)
3. Replace my AC rely.
  (this still didn't get ride of the engine light.)
4. Replace my Rateator rely.
  This fixed everything.
In total I sent only 20 dollars to fix my truck.
 
Thank you!

P0442 = Evaporative Emission Control System Leak Detected (small leak)
 
Basically this code means that the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) has recorded an event where the fuel tank could not be negatively pressurized (vacuum).
 
This could be caused by refueling with the engine on, or this vehicle has a leak in the evaporative fuel system. On Dodge trucks the first suspect is usually the fuel cap is either not tighten correctly to 1/4 turn, or defective.
 
Best regards,
Dusty
