P1441 GMC EVAP System Flow During Non-Purge Condition
Code: P1441
Description: EVAP System Flow During Non-Purge Condition
Definition: This code indicates that there is a detected flow in the evaporative emission (EVAP) system when it should be sealed. The EVAP system prevents fuel vapors from escaping into the atmosphere by storing them in a charcoal canister until they can be purged and burned in the engine. A flow during non-purge conditions suggests a leak or malfunction allowing vapors to escape when they shouldn’t.
