It's only used on cold start to help the Catalytic converter light off . The check engine light will be on all the time if you disconnect it .
The Secondary Air Injection (AIR) System aids in the reduction of hydrocarbon exhaust emissions during a cold start-up. This occurs when the start-up engine coolant temperature (ECT) is between 5-50°C (41-122°F), and the intake air temperature (IAT) is between 5-60°C (41-140°F). The AIR pump operates 5-60 seconds after start-up.
The powertrain control module (PCM) activates the AIR system by simultaneously supplying grounds to the AIR pump and the AIR valve relays. This action closes the relays' internal contacts. The AIR pump and the AIR control solenoid valve/pressure sensor assembly are in turn energized, the pump runs and the control/shut-off valve opens.
The AIR pump sends pressurized fresh air into the pipes/hoses through the open control/shut-off valve, and into the exhaust manifold. The extra air accelerates the catalyst operation, helping it to reach operating temperature faster. The AIR pump remains ON for a short period of time after the control/shut-off valve is commanded OFF. When the AIR pump is commanded OFF it will not run or be activated until the next vehicle start. When the AIR system is inactive, the closed AIR control/shut-off valve prevents air/exhaust flow in either direction.

Trouble code P0410 with many others

P0410 code is for secondary AIR injection system. this injects air into the exhaust system to lower emissions, its pointless and wont effect your vehicles performance. It doesn't make the car any more efficient it just "dilutes" the exhaust emissions

On a 2001 chevy s1o blazer,4.3 engine, what is the secondary air injection system, what does it do, and where is it located

it injects air into the exhaust to reduce emissions, burn off carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons. it is a system of tubes and pump, best bet is diagrams, which i cant post here, so suggest chilton or hayes repair manual $30 at auto stores with trouble shooting, diagrams, and directions.

DTC P0128: Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) Below Thermostat Regulations Temperature

DTC P0411 : Secondary Air Injection (AIR) System Incorrect Air Flow Detected

DTC P2440 : Secondary Air Injection (AIR) Valve Stuck Open

DTC P2431 : Secondary Air Injection (AIR) System Pressure Sensor Performance
Circuit/System Description
The secondary air injection (AIR) system aids in the reduction of hydrocarbon emissions during a cold start. The system forces fresh filtered air into the exhaust stream in order to accelerate the catalyst operation. An electric air pump, the secondary AIR injection pump, provides filtered air on demand to the AIR control solenoid valve/pressure sensor assembly. The AIR control solenoid valve/pressure sensor assembly controls the flow of air from the AIR pump to the exhaust manifold. The AIR solenoid valve relay supplies the current needed to operate the AIR solenoid valve/pressure sensor assembly. A pressure sensor is used to monitor the air flow from the AIR pump. The powertrain control module (PCM) supplies the internal pressure sensor with a 5-volt reference, an electrical ground, and a signal circuit.
The AIR diagnostic uses 3 phases to test the AIR system:
DTCs P0411 and P2430 run during Phase 1
DTCs P2430 and P2440 run during Phase 2
DTC P2444 runs during Phase 3
During phase 1, both the AIR pump and the solenoid valve are activated. Normal secondary air function occurs. Expected system pressure is 8-10 kPa above BARO.
During phase 2, only the AIR pump is activated. The solenoid valve is closed. Pressure sensor performance and solenoid valve deactivation are tested. Expected system pressure is 15-20 kPa above BARO.
During phase 3, neither the AIR pump nor the solenoid valve is activated. AIR pump deactivation is tested. Expected system pressure equals BARO.
In all 3 phases, testing is accomplished by comparing the measured pressure against the expected pressure. The PCM can detect faults in the AIR pump, AIR solenoid valve/pressure sensor assembly, and the exhaust check valve. The pressure sensor can also detect leaks and restrictions in the secondary AIR system plumbing.

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 p0410b secondary air injection system? what does it meen? what is the cause?

The secondary air injection system is an electric low pressure air pump that blows air into the exhaust stream to help burn up Hydrocarbons (HC), it only operates under certain conditions such as a cold engine. The common cause of failure is that the electric pump motor fails. The pump is sold as one complete assembly and is located under the hood of the car in the engine bay. The part is about $300 and is dealer only. Below are all the possible causes of the OBD2 fault code P0410 Possible causes - Vacuum hoses damaged.
- Air Pump inoperative. (most common cause)
- Air bypass solenoid circuit open.
- Air bypass solenoid leaking/blocked or stuck open/closed.
- Air diverter valve leaking/blocked or stuck open/closed.
Other possible causes and solutions to the code. - Visually inspect vacuum lines for disconnects in the AIR systems and visually inspect for proper vacuum line routing. Repair if necessary.
- Disconnect the air pump hose at the solenoid valve, start the engine and see if there is air being pumped

2003 VW Passat wagon 1.8 turbo, the check engine lite came on and the code is po411. how to fix without spending money I don't have

This code indicates that you have a faulty secondary air injection system. Basically this is a system in which pumped air is allowed into the exhaust system to help burn off any residual fuel droplets when the engine is warming up and thereby reduce hydrocarbon emissions. The 'injection of air' (opening of the valve) is by vacuum supplied by a thermally resistant over-braided vacuum line. Find your combi 'air injection' valve on the exhaust manifold and then check the integrity of the length of over-braided vacuum line. There is a good chance that the fault is merely a leak in this line (a poor end fitting) and this in turn is failing to supply the necessary vacuum to open the valve to allow pumped air into the exhaust. Hope this helps point you in the right direction.

What is p 2447 air inject system pump

DESCRIPTION

The Secondary Air injection (AIR) system consists of an air pump, the Air Switching Valve (ASV), a pressure sensor, the Air Injection Control Driver (AID) and the ECM. For a short time after cold engine starts, the AIR system pumps secondary air to the exhaust port of the cylinder head to purify the exhaust emissions. The secondary air is supplied by the air pump and is pumped to the exhaust port through the ASV.
The AID drives the ASV and the air pump according to command signals transmitted by the ECM. The pressure sensor detects the pressure in the secondary air passage when the AIR system is ON and OFF, and transmits a pressure signal to the ECM.
The AID is not only equipped to drive the pump and valve, but also with a diagnosis function to detect malfunctions in the AIR system circuit.

Secondary air injection system malfunction with the check engine light on. The 2001 olds has 89,000 miles and is in good running condition...no other problems with the car known. Had a tune-up less than...

Basically the secondary Air Injection Reactor system (AIR) forces frech air into the exhaust system to reduce HC and CO emissions. Thats why your failing its not doing its job.I'm not sure if you have a electric or belt driven pump ,or do you have the Pulse air system that uses natural pulses from the exhaust topull air into the exhaust system.
Let me know which system you have and I'll give you the testing procedure. This is a fairly easy fix.

I have an engine management light come on - tested - came up with a code PO410 - what is the next step?

P0410 is the error code for Secondary Air Injection System Malfunction
The secondary air injection pump pumps air into the exhaust to help heat the catalytic converter at cold start. This lowers the emissions at an otherwise high emission time.
A malfunction means that computer has registered either a pump failure (common on some models), fuse blown, or improper catalytic converter function.
Check your fuses. Whether you find a bad fuse or not have the codes reset. Some auto Zones can read and reset the codes. If the error comes back you may want to consider having the exhaust system checked.Problems with the catalytic converter\converters can have a large impact on your MPG.
