Check the vacuum lines underneath the battery tray. I had the same
code/problem and found a hole in the vacuum line from the battery
acid. Good luck...Tom
"Air System B" code. What is this and how do I fix it? Thanks in advance, Craig
i just threw this code during the weekend and cleared it... well damn thing came back tonight so... lucky i spotted your thread now i dont have to start my own.
P0410 - Secondary Air injection A.I.R. System. It consist of an electric air pump, rubber and metal tubing and TWO exhaust manifold check valves. If the check valves stick shut, it can give this code. There are TWO check valves. The one on the drivers side manifold is easy to access and easy to change. The other valve is BEHIND the intake manifold and is a PITA to change.
You can disconnect the rubber hose (theres a plastic coupling there) outboard of the alternator and see if the pump is suppling air. The pump only runs at cold startup and only runs for a couple of minutes.
The AIR system is used to aid CAT light off when the CATs are COLD!
The reason that your getting a DTC is the O2 sensor is not detecting the added air that the pump should be suppling when the pump is running.
I pulled the battery out and there are NO vacuum lines under the tray. I kinda thought that there shouldn't be any vacuum lines in that area but I checked anyway. I will check the air valves soon. Thanks, Craig
The vacuum line IS under the battery tray area more towards the firewall. It is in fact taped up with a large wire harness like BC mentioned. You
have to remove the battery tray as well as the battery to locate the harness! You will not see by just removing the battery.
i think i fixed mine
the light is now off and now i am waiting to see if it comes back on
the vaccum line from teh sensor to the air pump valp was pinched so i rerouted it and it seems to be fixed thanks a lot guys
the air pump system diagram is on the driver side fender like someone mentioned
