The P1441 trouble code indicates an issue with the Evaporative Emission Control System (EVAP).

Evaporative Emission (EVAP) System Flow During Non-Purge

So this means the purge valve is stuck open which is common, here is the location so you can swap it out and then clear the codes to help fix the problem. Check out the images (below). Let us know if you need anything else.
