Where is the secondary air pump on your 2000 Chevy impala 3.4 engine?
Secondary Air Pumps on 1999 to 2004 Chevrolet Impala 3.8/3.1
Underneath your driver's side front fender (in front of the tire), you will find a black removable panel on the bottom. This panel can be removed or adjusted by removing the three screws attached at the bottom (front) of the fender and two screws inside the wheel well towards the bottom front. With the car jacked up and safetly standing on jack stands, remove the front driver's side tire. You can now fold this black panel back (it has a hinge point for this purpose) and gain access to the secondary air pump.
P0410 diagnostic error codes often require replacement of the secondary air pump.
Further info:
A secondary air injection (AIR) pump is used on these vehicles in order to lower the tail pipe emissions during startup. The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) grounds the AIR pump relay control circuit, which energizes the AIR pump. The PCM also grounds the AIR combination valve vacuum control circuit, which energizes the AIR vacuum solenoid valve. Vacuum is then applied to both AIR combination valve diaphragms, which open the shutoff valves. The PCM enables both circuits simultaneously when AIR system operation is desired. When the AIR system is active, the AIR pump forces fresh air into the exhaust stream in order to accelerate catalyst operation. The AIR solenoid valves replace the conventional check valves. When the AIR system is inactive the shutoff valves prevent air flow in either direction. DTC P0412 applies to the AIR vacuum control solenoid circuit. DTC P0418 applies to the AIR pump relay control circuit. DTC P0410 sets if an air flow problem is detected.
The PCM will run up to 3 diagnostic tests using the HO2S1 voltage in order to diagnose the AIR system. The first test is a two-part, passive test. The two parts are the AIR Passive Test 1, and AIR Passive Test 2. The second test is a one-part active test called the AIR Active Test.
The AIR Passive/Active Tests consist of:
AIR Passive Test 1
When the AIR system is enabled, the PCM monitors the HO2S 1 voltage for a specific amount of time calculated by the coolant temperature at startup. The HO2S 1 is monitored for 10 seconds if the coolant temperature is more than 90?C (194?F), or for 70 seconds if the coolant temperature is less than 90?C (194?F).
If the HO2S 1 voltage is less than a calibrated amount, the PCM interprets this as an indication that the AIR System is operational and it is considered a test passed.
When the AIR Passive Test 1 completes, the PCM then runs AIR Passive Test 2.
AIR Passive Test 2
When the AIR System is disabled, the PCM monitors the HO2S 1 voltage. The HO2S 1 voltage should increase above a calibrated amount and switch normally.
When the AIR Passive Test 2 is complete and both AIR passive tests indicate a pass, no further action is taken. If either test fails or is inconclusive, the diagnostic will proceed to the AIR Active Test.
AIR Active Test
During this test the PCM turns the AIR system on during closed loop operation. When the AIR system is activated, the PCM monitors the HO2S voltage. If the AIR system is operating properly, the HO2S 1 voltage should go below a predetermined level.
The PCM will repeat this test up to 3 consecutive times with a short delay between each command.
If the PCM determines that the HO2S 1 voltage did not respond as expected during the tests, DTC P0410 will set.
Conditions for Running the DTC
DTCs P0101, P0102, P0103, P0107, P0108, P0112, P0113, P0117, P0118, P0121, P0122, P0123, P0171, P0172, P0300, P0412, P0418, P0442, P0443, P1441, and HO2S DTCs are not set.
The engine operates for more than 2 seconds.
Condition For Not Passing AIR Active Test
The HO2S 1 voltage changes less than 0.06 v or is more than 225 mV for 1.5 seconds during 2.5 seconds of AIR pump operation.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The pre-catalyst HO2S voltage remains above than 300 mV (Passive) or 150 mV (Active) for a calibrated period of time. AND
The short term FT does not increase a calibrated amount during the test.
Both conditions exist for 3 consecutive tests.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
The PCM will illuminate the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) during the first trip in which the diagnostic test has been run and failed.
The PCM will store conditions which were present when the DTC set as Freeze Frame and Failure Records data.
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
The PCM will turn OFF the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) during the third consecutive trip in which the diagnostic has run and passed.
The history DTC will clear after 40 consecutive warm-up cycles have occurred without a malfunction.
The DTC can be cleared by using a scan tool.
Diagnostic Aids
Inspect for the following conditions:
Many situations may lead to an intermittent condition. Perform each inspection or test as directed.
Important: : Remove any debris from the connector surfaces before servicing a component. Inspect the connector gaskets when diagnosing or replacing a component. Ensure that the gaskets are installed correctly. The gaskets prevent contaminate intrusion.
? Loose terminal connection
- Use a corresponding mating terminal to test for proper tension. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections , and to Connector Repairs in Wiring Systems for diagnosis and repair.
- Inspect the harness connectors for backed out terminals, improper mating, broken locks, improperly formed or damaged terminals, and faulty terminal to wire connection. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections , and to Connector Repairs in Wiring Systems for diagnosis and repair.
? Damaged harness--Inspect the wiring harness for damage. If the harness inspection does not reveal a problem, observe the display on the scan tool while moving connectors and wiring harnesses related to the sensor. A change in the scan tool display may indicate the location of the fault. Refer to Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems for diagnosis and repair.
? Inspect the powertrain control module (PCM) and the engine grounds for clean and secure connections. Refer to Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems for diagnosis and repair.
If the condition is determined to be intermittent, reviewing the Snapshot or Freeze Frame/Failure Records may be useful in determining when the DTC or condition was identified.

Will 24 inch wheels fit on a 96 impala ss?
They can fit with minor adjustments. I currently have 24s on my 1996 Chevrolet Caprice. If you already have good shocks and springs, you can go the cheap way and get 3 inch lift cups for like $100. If not, You are gonna have to upgrade to new Heavy Duty shocks and springs and that can cost you about $700
What would cause the hot water cartridge in a 2 handled bathtub to fail every 3-4 months?
It sounds like the cartridge isn't the problem.The next time you have the taps apart look at the seat the washer contacts and make sure the seat is not pitted.If there is any marks or scratches you can replace the seats if you can tell the hardware store the make and buy new ones.
If you haven't tried doing so already, you might try changing the thermostat. I had the same problem with my own 64 Impala but didn't discover the real cause until I blew a head gasket and had to yank the motor. The water jacket in the engine block had about 3 inches of sediment in the bottom of the block and was so dense it had to be picked out with a long metal rod. It was coming out in chunks. A new water pump, thermostat, belts and hoses made no difference. Not trying to scare you, but you can find out by removing the water pump and use a long metal rod to scrape/poke the bottom of the water jacket. You'll know how deep the sediment is anyway. Be careful not to distrurb it too much if you plan on driving the car. The loose crud will get stuck in your heater core. Carl King http://www.classiccarauto.com
How to remove driver's side windshield wiper arm?

Same problem... Its the Headlightswitch.
I didnt believe it at first considering I never use it due to DRL switching modes for me, but yeah that's the problem or was for my 2002 Chevy Impala
How do you remove a door panel from a 2002 Pontiac Sunfire?
If you don't have electric windows then you have to take off the little plastic cover that is placed around the lever that adjusts your mirror. Then you must take off a little panel that your lock/unlock button is on. Should be located right about the door handle. Then there are two bolts underneath the arm rest that need to come out. Plus about 4 screws on the bottom of the door around the perimeter. You also need to take off the knob that rolls down your windows if you have it. I'm not sure how to do this. Then the bottom of the door should pop off, as it is still being held on by plastic holders on the inside of the door. Once you have pulled the bottom of the panel away from door then you should be able to slide the panel off of the door.
Defroster not working in 06 Chevy Impala?
Check fuse first (see owners manual for location). Second, check lines on window interior to see if there is a break which might have been caused by a scratch. If there is, you can purchase kit at auto parts store to repair scratched metal lines on window. If none of
these appear to be the problem, consider replacing switch (behind the dash, near radio. The switch is a big job because you have to remove the dash cover first.
How do you remove Chevy Impala headrests 2008?
