Usual causes are air in air pump, solenoid malfunction, the secondary air check valve, or loss of power to pump solenoid. Pinched, loose, cracked, or broken hoses can also cause this code.

What does this code mean? P0410

Diagnostic Test Code (DTC) P0410 indicates that your secondary air injection system is not functioning properly.
Not all 2001 Chevrolet Bazers are equipped with secondary air injection. The secondary air injection system was added to vehicles that were to be sold in certain areas where the emissions laws required it, like the State Of California.

The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) monitors the system by commanding the secondary air blower motor to run and the air injection solenoid to open. This causes additional oxygen to enter the exhaust system. The PCM then monitors the signal from the oxygen sensors to see if the commanded air has in fact, entered the exhaust system. Code P0410 sets when the PCM has commanded the blower motor on and the solenoid open and there is little or no change in the oxygen sensor signal.

GM has had some problems with these systems and there has been a Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) issued that addresses some of the known concers. Below is a brief description of the TSB and the issues involved.

Bulletin No.: 04-06-04-015A
Date: November 28, 2006
TECHNICAL
Subject:
LN2, L43 or L35 Engine SES/MIL Light Illuminated, AIR Pump Ingesting Water and DTC P0410 Set (Replace AIR Pump and Inlet Hose Assembly)
Models:
1999-2003 Chevrolet Blazer, S10
1999-2001 GMC Jimmy
1999-2003 GMC Sonoma
1999-2001 Oldsmobile Bravada
with Vortec 2.2L I4 or 4.3L V6 Engine (VINs 4, 5, W - RPOs LN2, L43, L35)
Condition
Some customers may comment on the SES/MIL light being illuminated. Upon investigation, the technician may find a DTC P0410 indicating that there is a concern in the secondary air injection system.
Cause
Water may have collected in the AIR pump or the vent solenoid and frozen or corroded the pump.
Correction
Replace the AIR pump and install a new inlet hose and solenoid tube assembly...

The bulletin goes on and gives detailed information on how to perform the repair and the part numbers of the replacement parts needed to do so. Your local dealer can provide the parts for you and you can probably get them to print out a complete copy of the bulletin for you. It is not really hard to do if you want to do this yourself.

Code pulled says secondary intake. what is that?

Do you mean "Secondary Air Injection"? When asking for help with problems like this, it is helpful to include vital information like ENGINE SIZE. Also, you need to include the On-Board Diagnostics (OBD)Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC). That way, someone trying to help you will not be "guessing" trying to figure out what you need help with.
For instance if you are getting a coded for your secondary air injection system like DTC "P0410" , We can go to the troubleshooting charts for that code and get information on that code. Also, there may be Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs) that are published by the vehicle manufacturer that can simplify the task of identifying and repairing known problems with certain vehicles. An example of this is that the manufacturer (General Motors) has published a TSB for DTC P0410. There is a known problem with water getting into the pump and causing the pump to fail. The TSB prescribes a fix which involves replacing the secondary air injection pump and re-routing the intake filter for the pump so that water can no longer get into the pump.

This type of information cannot be provided to you if we do not know what engine we are working on or what code you are getting from your computer.

Also, it should be noted here that all OBD codes have a "generic description" of the fault, but OBD codes NEVER tell you what parts need to be replaced. The fault codes only tell you which of the many systems monitored by the computer is failing to operate within its designed operating range or conditions.

A new pump, or simulator!

What signals the ECU, if the seconary Air Injection system isn't working?
H20 sensors, if running rich > Xtime throw code!
The pump only runs when the engine is cold, so the air & rich fuel mix is burnt in the exhaust manifold, so there's less Emission.
