I/m an old fart trying to help my daughter. She has a 96 Firebird Trans Am, automatic that keeps bringing up a code P410. I have cleared the code twice but it comes back after driving 30-50 miles. I know this is a secondary air injection system problem. I know the air pump is not locked up but I do not know where the one way check valve is located and how to test it. I know it also has a relay fuse for the secondary air injection system under the hood which I do not know how to test. I'd sure appreciate help to fix this problem and if there is a recall or techicnal service bulletin on this problem I'd sure like to know how to obtain the bulletin or recall number, date, etc. I thank you.

Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "1995 Trans Am" isn't going to indicate to anybody that you need help. However, "Need help with my 1995 Trans Am" will. Be as descriptive as you can. Please use common sense...

This link refers to your issue and I found the tech bulletin/recall, see if your VIN falls in the range and if so check with a dealer.

Product Emission - Air Injection Reactor (A.I.R.) Pump System Failures #99083
99083 -- Air Injection Reactor (A.I.R.) Pump System Failures
1995, 1996, 1997 Chevrolet Camaro and Pontiac Firebird Model Vehicles
Equipped with 5.7L Engine (RPO LT1-VIN Code P)
Condition
General Motors has decided to conduct a Voluntary Emission Campaign involving all 1995, 1996 and 1997 Chevrolet Camaro and Pontiac Firebird model vehicles equipped with 5.7L (RPO LT1-VIN Code P) engines. The Air Injection Reactor (A.I.R.) pump emission control system on these vehicles may fail to operate and cause the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) to illuminate. This condition may be due to corrosion of a solenoid internal to the A.I.R. pump.
Correction
Dealers are to install a new A.I.R. pump assembly kit that is designed to protect the A.I.R. pump system from failing due to internal corrosion.
Vehicles Involved
Involved are all 1995, 1996 and 1997 Chevrolet Camaro and Pontiac Firebird model vehicles equipped with 5.7L (RPO LT1-VIN Code P) engines and built within the following VIN breakpoints:
