Customers may have a concern of the Service Engine Soon Light on with a P0440 code set. Have the dealer check the evaporative solenoid vent jumper harness on the rear axle assembly for an open condition. If the ABS jumper harness is routed over the EVAP jumper harness, it may become fatigued. At this time, a replacement jumper harness is not available to service the vehicle. The dealer will need to repair the harness, and most importantly, after repair, route the EVAP harness over the ABS harness to avoid a repeat condition. A service part for the jumper harness will be available shortly, and when it is available, a bulletin will be released. The assembly plant has institued a change in process May 13 to assure proper routing of the harness.

If these steps do not resolve the condition, please contact GM TAC for further diagnostic assistance.
