Change the thermostat. Take a look at your temp gauge and I bet you are only reading ~150 when fully warmed up. I had to change the thermostat on both my Blazers this winter for the very same condition. They open up too soon and the engine never gets to 195. The pluses are that it is easy to change, a top quality (Stant) part is not expensive, and you may actually get a bit better gas mileage out of it as they are more efficient when fully warmed up.
 
With the engine cold, just pull the thermostat housing off without draining anything. You will have to remove part of the throttle cable brackets to do this. Once the bracket is clear, pull the housing, swap the thermostat, and put it right back together. You won't lose but about a cup of coolant. You will need to have the SES light reset. Autozone will scan the code for you, and then hand you the reader to reset the code. I think for liability reasons they cannot reset the code for you.

I have a 2005 jimmy , i had a p0128 and changed the thermostate, was reset and showed the codes p0053 and p1133. the engine light came on a few days later.. why after fixing one code two more appear.. (two oxgen sensers were also replaced previously).. I only have 36.000 klms. I know short driving distances are harder on your car, but this is awfully frustrating...as a previous owner of a 1997 astro van, i didnt need any serious work on it untill it was over two hundred klms.. could you tell me pls tell me what i need to replace. and also do you have a 800 number where i can phone and get a service manual for my jimmy,,I had one for my van and it was one of my better investments as my hubby does most of the work thanx

Both of the codes listed relate to a defective O2 sensor. Could be premature failure of one of the sensors replaced earlier, or it could be the wiring to the sensor got pulled/damaged during the thermostat replacement.
 
Is the engine warming properly now? As in going to 195F (90C) within a short period (<5 mins)

2001 Blazer PO 410B code by valleygirlkim

The code reads "Secondary air injection - incorrect flow detected...please reply if you have had experience repairing what may be causing this code to cause the service engine light to appear.
 
Had a complete tune up last month and soon after the service engine light popped up. I took in back in to the dealer and they changed my thermostat. Now I'm getting a PO410 code. I didn't take it in for service yet - thought I would try this forum first.
 
Hope someone somewhere knows - I really like my blazer but I have already replaced the trans. which set me back big time. Now it's just general maintenance but the engine light code my be another big expense.
 
Thank in advance for your input. VGK

my husband changed the thermostate first,(under a ten dollar part, we always change the cheapest part first) but the light came back on , apparently there is another thermostate censor... my engine light is off now only cause its warner out... it went off by itself after drivin it in the warmer weather... I still need it changed......good luck ...and let me no how it goes...If u no someone handy its inexpensive to pick-up a code reader...

P0410 code is the secondary air pump. This code appears when water gets in the pump and freezes. You should replace the pump and relay. The new kit re-routs the air inlet tube up next to the battery. It is not hard to replace takes about an hour. The best price I found is GMParts house ask for Gene. The kit is about half of what the dealer charges.

Your advice is very helpful. Just wanted to say thanks - I'll probably look locally for the pump/kit as I'm on the PA/Jersey border. Have a great day.

EGR valve by duntov

I would first check or replace the EGR valve on the engine. They can get stuck with carbon deposit in a high milage engine when the vehicle is held at a continuous highway speed above 60 MPH for about three or four miles. That especially occurs after the vehicle has been in slow stop and go traffic for a few months. When the SES light comes on, stop the car, turn off the igintion for ten seconds and the SES light will go out. That is what I have to do on my 1991 S10 Blazer. I fixed the problem by driving at 80 MPH for about ten miles about once a month. Tell the police that you are testing your EGR valve, .I am sure they will understand.
