Come along with Eric O. as we have a look at this 2000 Chevrolet S-10 with a code P0410 Secondary Air Injection Reactor System. It is commonly referred to as the AIR pump. These vehicle are really prone to water intrusion in the pump but as we show in this video it is very important to test the whole system before making the call to the customer. -Enjoy!

I hate to repeat myself BUT this is why Eric O. and this channel is my favorite on RU-vid. What mechanic would have checked that outlet hose and one way exhaust check valve AFTER they found the problem with the faulty pump??? I would have got the phone call, I can hear it now, that my entire pump assembly was bad and needed to be replaced only to drive my vehicle for the next week to have my code trip back on because the ENTIRE PROBLEM was not diagnosis. Eric O. had the insight to check the outlet house for stiffness and to take 5 seconds to examine the one way check valve. Keep doing the great job you do Eric O. btw. kewl to see your helper Hannah back in the shop.

@throttlebottle5906 7 лет назад

the check valves on majority of vehicles were common issues also, dirty and hang open or stick shut. checking the line while handling it is just common sense, which most lack now days

Eric due to your professionalism I was able to diagnose and fix my 2001 blazer's po410 that had been dogging me for years! Replaced the whole pump system, valves, solenoids, relocate upgraded intake assembly..the whole deal. Worked fine for a week then an exhaust check valve let loose... melted what i thought was only the fresh air discharge T.....NOT it waxed the brand new pump tooo!! melted the plastic impeller, locking it in place. All good now. If you ever come down to CT I owe you a beer or two!

Thanks Eric! As a "layin on the ground" DIY Guy I appreciate you going old school for us! The circuit breaker tool was sweet too. I had an issue with my old Dakota and it took four mini 15 amp fuses before I found the shorted harness wire. Pushing a breaker button would be so much quicker and easier...

@mikechiodetti6737 5 лет назад

Great Video. Thorough check of the A.I.R. system! The Colorado's we had were equipped with the electric air pump located on the driver's side. Ours were new enough that the system still worked when I retired from there in 2016, I'm sure it's only a matter of time for that one to give trouble! Sometimes with a bi-directional scan tool/android/whatever, you can test the replacement parts and see "how it works." THAT'S the learning curve/best part! Looking forward to part 2.

@kj9219 5 лет назад

Great amount of info. Exactly what i needed. You're turnin' into a growly old mechanic you know...bless yer' heart.

@henrydulaney1850 Год назад

Well done Eric! I’ve been tackling the exact problem on my 2001 S10 4.3L. Never know if the pump is really filled with water. Removed the pump off mine and that thing had lots of water filled that I dumped out. You’re sure right about the water intrusion. It’s been one of the most toughest things I’ve tackled in my experience and now I’ve got about everything to replace on the system. Bypass valve is holding up somehow and just replacing everything else but will test the bypass valve once more. Other than that thanks for the video. You’re the man!

@hockeyteeth 4 года назад

I put a new pump in my s10 yesterday. No power. I checked that fuse you pulled next to the battery. It's a 30 amp and it's blown. Back to the game this morning. I'll figure it out. I've been driving my S10 for 21 years! Bought it brand new. This will be my last time inspecting it in NY. New truck time. Thanks for the help guy.

@haywardsautomotive6156 7 лет назад

Great video Eric and you can't get much more thorough in your diagnosis. I know your customers are happy b/c they get an accurate quote from one phone call vs. multiple from incomplete diagnosis. That's what separates the great shops from the others. Thanks for the videos man!

@jeffreynobles948 5 лет назад

I literally(a couple hours ago) just did a secondary air pump, solenoid valve, and air shut off (diverter) valve replacement on my 2001 S-10 4.3L. Parts were around $200 for everything, and it works perfect now. Using my Autoenginuity software that supports bi-directional controls, I turned on the AIR system when the truck went into closed loop, and both bank O2 sensors flatlined (went to zero volts), so I know it is fixed. The kit I ordered came with the pump, new fresh air intake tube with what looks like some type of filter on the end of it rather than just an open hose pipe, and a new connector harness for the solenoid valve (which I didn't use). The solenoid valve checked good, as well as the diverter valve, but I knew because I had a check valve leaking that goes to the exhaust manifold that the components had probably gotten a lot of water/condensation in them, so I decided to replace all of it while I was down there under the vehicle. Shops want upwards of about $700+ to do this type of repair, which is just ridiculous! Thank you for the videos you post!! I follow your channel daily, and learn something new every day. Keep up the good work!

@jeffreynobles948 5 лет назад

Also, it's obvious that someone has worked on that system prior to this because those aren't the factory GM compression clamps on those hoses.

@traingp7 7 лет назад

"It's in pretty good shape except it needs everything." That has to be the motto for your shop.

@tarwashsomeonestolemyhandle Месяц назад

just watched this video because I came across the A.I.R pump while working near it on something else and noticed one of the hose ports was busted. I had no idea what it even was or it's function until I came across this video. I super glued it back together and reinstalled it and it's holding up. I noticed the hardware store clamps on your vehicle aren't factory so I'm thinking that wasn't the first time the A.I.R pump has been worked on. Being six years late to the chat I'm not expecting a reply or looking for one but stranger things have happened. Thanks for the video!

Ugh. I have a 2001 S10 and I went through this last year. Ended my relationship with the shop I had been taking it to. I was up against the wall inspection wise because the first shop never diagnosed the problem thoroughly in the first place and I had to keep coming back every 3-4 weeks when the money light came back on. I tried replacing all the O2 sensors (which were original) to get it to complete the catalyst monitor before the P0410 would set so I could pass inspection and deal with the problem after but it absolutely would not run the catalyst test. I finally gave up and took it to the dealer and they replaced the whole system, which I feel a little better about now having watched this video. Then I pick the truck up and drive it 10 minutes to put gas in it never getting anywhere near 55 mph and go home and the catalyst monitor completed along with everything but the secondary air. Thanks a lot, truck. Thanks a lot.

@Catman1987 Месяц назад

it can be the green 30 AMP fuse near the battery that triggers the code .

I may just replace all the stuff you showed in this video except for pump. The air pump works.

Eric, I have a 1998 chevy S10, replaced two air pumps that filled with water,the original pump when I bought truck 8 years ago and the second a year later . I moved the air inlet hose and placed it up near battery so it doesn`t suck in water. Problem solved ever since.

@robertkutz 7 лет назад

nice job.

@kennethnichols7263 7 лет назад

I guess the water came from the exhaust due to the bad check valve. In the old days a pipe from the exhaust ran to a bimetallic spring that would open the choke as the engine warmed up. The housing for the bimetallic spring would fill up with water.

@simonparkinson1053 7 лет назад

Only one little thing, with the solenoid valve. They don't hold vacuum on the "load" side, otherwise the diaphragm in the vacuum operated device would never return. Test again with the mityvac on the engine side! Great video, amazing how many failed components in one subsystem!

@SouthMainAuto 7 лет назад

@simonparkinson1053 7 лет назад

Eric, I've had this problem the last three times I've run through emissions and bought new pumps each time, with it failing a few months later. If I went to the trouble of simply mounting the pump higher than the exhaust with a proper wiring extension and longer hoses, do you think this would cure it?

@GaryLordsWayMinistry 6 лет назад

the service manual has a longer hose for the intake of the pump so water will not enter into the pump drive motor or into the valve to the vacuum that opens due to vacuum that allows air to feed into the exhaust System so the oxygen sensors read a correct voltage at start up or the CPM will kick the light for secondary air injection failure.

Does the intake hose for the secondary Air pump hose connected to anything or is it unattached and draws air directly from the tube?

@19:20, "Not often do you see 14 year old vehicles that are still worth pursuing a repair on." How long should you keep a vehicle before it becomes not worth repairing? Thumbs up video. Excellent diagnostics.

@talleddie81 7 лет назад

That comment is based on the area of the country he lives in. The salt on the roads usually rots the frame and body of the vehicle and it no longer is worth repairing.

@SouthMainAuto 7 лет назад

Around here the average life span is about 12 years and 90% of vehicles are toast (due to rust)

@Sandbag1300 7 лет назад

Talleddie81, there may be more to it than that. Separate from the engine and transmission (the most expensive components), a vehicle is made up of at least a dozen major independent systems that each have a service life. For example, steering, a/c, cooling, suspension, computer, electrical, starting, wheel bearings, emissions/evap, catalytic converter, exhaust, fuel, etc. At some point the average service life of each of these systems comes to an end near the same time. This video seems like a good example of an air pump system in which every part has reached end of life. As an owner you have to ask yourself, what other systems may be close to end of life and how accessible are the new parts. Should this S-10 vehicle owner go for a newer vehicle now instead of spending more $ today on parts, tires, etc.

@Starcrunch72 7 лет назад

Depends on how thick your wallet is.

@talleddie81 7 лет назад

You are correct, however, in the salt belt when the frame rots away and is no longer safe, it really doesn't matter what condition the rest of the components are in. No one is replacing a frame.

The placement of the fuse box would definitely knock down that score, and that's definitely not the worst I've seen on SMA. Engineers at desks should have some kind of incentive to consider the mechanics and techs who have to deal with that crap!

I know of the vaccume hose that runs to the little round peice beside the pump. I have an 01 blazer and can't figure out where the second vaccume hose runs too I've looked at schematics and can't figure anything out would you be able to tell me where that second hose runs too? Thanks
