410 secondary air injection malfunction code comes up

What could the problem be ? The manual I have shows no reference to such code or anything to do with air injection

  • Anonymous May 02, 2009

    A P0410 code on a 2001 Olds Intrigue. I also have what appears to be an exhaust manifold leak. Are the two related?

P0410 Secondary Air Injection System
"Secondary Air" is an abbreviated term for the "Secondary Air Injection System". This system uses a separate air pump and a series of metal and rubber tubes to force outside air into the exhaust stream and help the catalytic converter burn away excessive emissions.

Possible causes and fixes are:
#1 Poor connection, rubbed-through wire insulation or a broken wire inside the insulation.

#2 Inspect harness connectors for backed-out terminals, improper mating, broken locks, improperly formed or damaged terminals, poor terminal-to-wire connection, and damaged harness.

#3 Check for worn or loose AIR pump drive belt.

#4 Check for pinched, kinked or restricted AIR pipes, hoses or fittings.

Problems with this system can stem from electrical circuits, solenoids, or switches that control the pump and valves. Other problems include sticking valves, loose, rusted, or poorly connected lines, a broken drive belt, or possibly a bad pump.

I HAVE THIS CODES P0410-P0412-P042-P0411-P0491 COMING OUT WHEN I DID A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TEST AND HOW CAN I FIX IT PLEASE HELP ME BEFOR I GIVE UP AND JUNK IT AND I DONT WANT TO DO THAT TO MY CAR.

codes p 0410, 0411, 0412 all refer to the secondary air injection system--malfunction, incorrect flow detected and circuit malfunction ===causes are --wiring--sir valve---air solenoid--ECM--air pump, air hose/s--ECM
code p 0491 refers to secondary air injection bank 1 --malfunction or insufficient flow=== causes are the same with a mechanical fault added
so to analyze -- the most common cause is air hoses, followed by valve or solenoid of the air injection system followed by ECM which be as little as a bad pin connection in the wiring
