Please delail steps .. location and parts needed
Iknow that po419 involves the secondary air pump system and the po385 involves crankshaft position sensor b circuit. I don't know if there is a connection or two difference problem.
Please instruct me how to fix
JK: Thank you for the tip/donation. These codes are probably not related. p0410- most likely cause is the AIR pump has failed and needs to be replaced. GM has a kit with new pump and hose- part # 19515548. Instructions included with kit. But, the AIR diverter valves can also cause this problem. Check the AIR fuse in the underhood fuse block fisrt. If it is blown, then the problem is the pump, and possibly the harness is melted. If fuse is not blown, then one of the diverter valves may be bad. Those can be checked with a vacuum pump. The AIR pump is under the car in front of the dr. side wheel. Access from underneath.
p0385 is the crank position sensor. Also from under the car. A little tough to get to. Will need a socket, extension, and swivel to remove. Quite hard on the wrist. Removal of the starter will make it easier, but not absolutely necessary. After replacing the crank sensor, you will need to have a "crankshaft variance re-learn" procedure done, or the same code will come back. This needs to be done with a scanner.
I will gather some pics to help you with these repairs and send them
