The problem started last march with the engine light. I used a small shop for repairs. they couldn't fix it. they would reset it and it wouldn't come back for months. This month it came back so i took it to dealer. they fixed it. now it is back on again! the light seems to come on once a month.

I am sick of my 2001 blazer.It has 64000 miles. The check engine light came on again. The dealer calls the code p0410. That's a air pump. That code has been part of the last problem I had.The last time it had 5 codes at one time.(po101 0141 0155 0410 and 1416). Now it's only the po410. That one part will cost me $500 to fix. The part is on national back order. That tells me the part is in demand. So alot of blazers have this problem. Why is it not a recalled item? By the way since march I have spent $2000 in repairs. |

Replying to: christopher71 (Jul 27, 2006 4:02 am) Fixed my 01 and a total rebuild on the 99. Some parts can be obtained from a local auto store using the Delco # found on the pump and the check valves eveyone has. Got the pumpine for $100. See the description below because there are a few check valves, hoses, and solenoids also that often fail. DTC P0410 (SES Light On) - Secondary Air Injection P1415 and/or P1416 for secondary air injection Bank A and B can also be set if the powertrain control module (PCM) detects a heated oxygen sensor voltage mismatch and activates an internal test to confirm. Circuit Description: This is located under the radiator (pump, electric solenoid, and vacuum shutoff valve) and tees off up to the exhaust manifolds thru 2 check valves on 4.3L. For 4wd remove the front skid plate to access. The secondary air injection pump is used to lower tail pipe emissions on start-up. The PCM supplies a ground to the pump relay, which energizes the pump and the electric solenoid valve. Engine vacuum is applied to the shut-off valve when the solenoid is energized. The engine vacuum opens the shut-off valve that allows air to flow to the exhaust manifolds. Often the pump gets water/moisture in it and freezes up blowing the fuse and the check valves rust or freeze open internally and then burn thru the rubber hose, and even melt the lower “T”, shutoff, and even pump impeller. |

My check engine light just came on while traveling from Miami to Savannah, GA. I had the code read at Autozone and they said it was P1970 - manufacturer controlled transmission code and to see a dealer. Is there a way to fix this myself or must I take it to a dealer. Transmission is slipping a little but not bad - yet!

Replying to: theugamom (Jul 28, 2006 6:03 pm) TSB # 01-07-30-023A Harsh 1-2 Upshift, SES, MIL, or CEL Illuminated, DTC P1870 Set (Replace Valve Body) When the conditions for setting DTC P1870 are met (first trip), the PCM commands maximum line pressure and harsh 1-2 shifts are the result. This may result in a harsh 1-2 shift with no history code if the conditions for setting the DTC required for the second trip are not met, on two consecutive trips (Ignition cycles, with a drive cycle). Bottom line driving it may or may not damage it more - I had this occur on my 99 and after shutting it off and restarting it went away and that never returned. At least stop by and have the pan dropped and the filter changed ($60-85) and see if all works OK. This normally only requires a TCC solenoid replacement if any repair - but depends on mileage and use/abuse (towing/offroading etc). |

My husbands jimmy's check engine light has been on for about 5 months. We now know that the fuel pump is bad because one day it wouldn't start and he tapped the bottom of the tank and then it started. He doesn't have to do this every time. We took it to the shop for an inspection knowing that we would have to get that fixed before they would give the sticker. Any way they found 5 or 6 codes and said it would be $1500.00. AIR (air injection regulator) pump, hoses and check valves. Fuel pump, filter and hoses/lines. Also a CERP belt. Could the fuel pump being bad cause all the other codes? Is it really needing all these parts. I didn't write down the codes the shop gave but i can get them if you need them. Also should we fix this our selves? Also how hard of a job is it?

I an not an expert but I just had my Jimmy put on the computer the other day too because my check engine light was on and we were having major problems with it. I was given two codes, one for the O2 sensor and one for the 3-2 shift selinoid in the transmission. After replacing both I was told that the computer was wrong and that the entire transmission is bad and has to be replaced immediately. Two different mechanics told me that the computer doesn't always give the exact answer, it gives a round about answer of what it could be and then the garage/shop tries to narrow it down from there (not sure if that's true or not but that's what the mechanic told me at the time). I would suggest having it put on another computer just in case, there is no point putting out all of that money if it's not the cause (like I just did).

Replying to: austininny (Sep 20, 2006 5:50 pm) 1. As for the air pump - yes those often fail and their is a pump under the radiator that pumps air into exhuast for 1 min or so on startup and the hose stucks water, the 2 metal check valves fail open and burn the hoses off too, and then their are 2 solenoids and 2 pplastic diaphrams that can get burned. 2. Fuel pump pressure has to be tested and its 60psi min at start (key on engine off) and 53psi min running. Need a pressure tester on the test rail about $35 from Actron. In the tank and a pain to drop if not setup to do it. Use only a Delco pump as most aftermarkets have had problems and only have a 1 year warranty. Part is $400-500. 3. Yes, possible that low or fluating fuel pressure cabn cause other codes but need the codes - a P0300 random misfire is one but that has about 6 other possible reasons too. 4. Serpentine belt is the big "fan" belt that is $25-30 part and then thereare 2 pulleys tha may squeal called the idler (fixed on top) and the flex one called tensioner. |
