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

Have a 01 bmw 325ci had code 0491 and 0492 secondary air insufficient i changed the check valve control switch vacum lines water pump 02 sensors up stream thermostat still get the codes can any one tell me...

Did you check the Vacuum lines to the Secondary air Valve Controls. They may be rotten. Can you do a Smoke test. Replace dry rotted lines with either 3/16 Fuel or Power Steering Hoses if you do not get ORM Vacuum lines/hoses. There are many Vedios on You Tube showing this specific problem solving on German cars. you can check out these,

I have the following codes po410 and po491.......can u please tell me what they are so I can get my car fixed asap

P0410 - SECONDARY AIR INJECTION (AIR) SYSTEM
P0491 - SECONDARY AIR INJECTION (AIR) SYSTEM INSUFFICIENT FLOW (BANK 1)

Secondary air injection (trademarked as Air Injection Reactor) is a process where fresh air is injected into the exhaust system to allow for a fuller combustion of exhaust gasses.

The possible causes are:
SAIR pump low or now air flow
SAIR bypass solenoid leaking/blocked or stuck open/closed
SAIR diverter valve leaking/blocked or stuck open/closed
SAIR air hose restriction
SAIR vacuum hose restriction or leaking

Check to make sure your air filter isn't dirty - and replace if needed. Otherwise I would suggest having your local trusted auto repair facility diagnose and repair the issue. A scan tool will be needed to properly diagnose the issue.
