Circuit Description
A secondary air injection (AIR) pump is used on this vehicle to lower tail pipe emissions on start-up. The powertrain control module (PCM) supplies a ground to the AIR pump relay, which energizes the AIR pump and the AIR solenoid valve. Engine vacuum is applied to the AIR shut-off valve when the AIR solenoid is energized. The engine vacuum opens the AIR shut-off valve which allows air to flow to the exhaust manifolds.
The PCM monitors the HO2S voltages to diagnose the AIR system.
During the AIR test, the PCM activates the AIR pump during Closed Loop operation. When the AIR system is activated, the PCM monitors the heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) voltages and short term fuel trim values for both banks of the engine. If the AIR system is operating properly, the HO2S voltages should go low and the short term fuel trim should go high.
If the PCM determines that the HO2S voltages for both banks did not respond as expected during the tests, DTC P0410 sets. If only one sensor responded, the PCM sets either a DTC P1415 for bank 1 or P1416 for bank 2 to indicate on which bank the AIR system is inoperative.
Conditions for Running the DTC

| • | The start up coolant temperature is below 80°C (176°F) |
| • | The engine run time is more than 2 seconds. |
| • | The engine load is less than 23 percent. |
| • | The engine air flow is less than 18 g/s. |
| • | The engine speed is more than 750 RPM. |
| • | The ignition voltage is more than 11.7 volts. |
| • | The air fuel ratio is 14.7:1. |
| • | The engine coolant temperature (ECT) is between 70-110°C (14-230°F). |
| • | The intake air temperature (IAT) is between 2-100°C (36-212°F). |
| • | The fuel system is not operating in power enrichment or deceleration fuel cut-off. |
| • | The short term fuel trim is in cells 5-6. |
| • | The vehicle speed is more than 25 km/h (15 mph). |
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The HO2S voltage does not go below 222 mV for 1.2 seconds or more and the short term fuel trim does not go above a predetermined amount.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
| • | The control module illuminates the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) when the diagnostic runs and fails. |
| • | The control module records the operating conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. The control module stores this information in the Freeze Frame/Failure Records. |
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
| • | The control module turns OFF the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) after 3 consecutive ignition cycles that the diagnostic runs and does not fail. |
| • | A current DTC, Last Test Failed, clears when the diagnostic runs and passes. |
| • | A history DTC clears after 40 consecutive warm-up cycles, if no failures are reported by this or any other emission related diagnostic. |
| • | Clear the MIL and the DTC with a scan tool. |
Diagnostic Aids
| • | Casting flash in the exhaust manifold may restrict the amount of air flow necessary to affect the HO2S voltage. If you suspect this, remove the air pipe from the manifold and inspect the passage. |
| • | Using the Freeze Frame/Failure Records data may aid in locating an intermittent condition. If you cannot duplicate the DTC, the information included in the Freeze Frame/Failure Records data can help determine how many miles since the DTC set. The Fail Counter and Pass Counter can also help determine how many ignition cycles the diagnostic reported a pass and/or a fail. Operate the vehicle within the same Freeze Frame conditions such as RPM, load, vehicle speed, temperature etc. that you observed. This will isolate when the DTC failed. |
| • | For an intermittent condition, refer to Intermittent Conditions . |
