Saturn Cars & Trucks - Page 5 - Recent Questions, Troubleshooting & Support

The "service vehicle" message on a Saturn Ion typically indicates a problem with the vehicle's on-board diagnostic (OBD) system, which is responsible for monitoring various systems and components in the car. The message may be accompanied by a specific diagnostic trouble code (DTC) that can be read using a scan tool. The DTC can help a mechanic to identify the specific problem and make the necessary repairs. It's recommendable to take the vehicle to a qualified technician or mechanic to diagnose the problem and fix it.

VIE = VUE?????????????????????????????????????????? 3.6L V6, NO MILES ON ENGINE TOLD OR PARTS PUT ON IT NOT FROM GM TOLD (ENGINE PARTS) GOT AWD OR NOT????????????????? LOST THE SERVICE MANUAL, GET IT? WHY ARE YOU DOING ALL THIS, ?????? MOST OF THOSE SENSORS DO NOT FAIL, 9 OF 10 ARE GOOD, OWNERS LOVE TO CHANGE THEM AT DROP OF HAT FOR NO REASONS WHATSOEVER. CONFUSED. THE SENSORS MAKERS LOVE YOU. NO KIDDING MOST ARE CAM ERRORS. BELT DRIVE TOPS THE LIST OR using CHINA CLONE CHAIN TRASH. ENDLESS.AND GUIDES FROM SAME TRASH MAKERS. DOWN UNDER/. THE CKP IS LONG PLASTIC PROBE, 1 BOLT AND 3 PINS THE TOP Chains made even GM can go 250,000 miles more with freq. oil changes the cheap chain kits sold are pure trash can fail under 50k, in chains and guides you do get what you pay for. and no sensor on earth can hide a bad chain,guide or tensiion';er yes the SM tells you CKP must be relearned i will post step 3 you will never do, lacking GM tools 3:With a scan tool, select the CKP System Variation Learn Procedure and perform the following: A TO H STEPS CKP IS HERE IN THE MANUAL ID #2 https://eautorepair.net/Marketing/Default.asp RTM

Body Control Module (BCM) At the right side of the I/P, under carpet in footwell area

check and test ignition switch and neutral safety switch

No Inertia switch on Saturns! Check Fuel Pump Fuse Or Fuel Pump!

steering locked engine running not? , not told that key fact. the key must turn, jiggling steering can help the key too turn. we do not know what turn over means, the word turns has zero meaning .(accurate) the starter turns, the crank shaft spins and turns and the engine turns and starts and runs and stays running this good serial event or the KEY is stuck and key will not turn OVER from OFF TO , RUN and to START, some call turns over as runs. 3 ways to get the mean wrong so learn to say I can crank it ok but the engine fails to start and run. I guess (wild) the starter is DEAD< silent, clicks or chatters.>? that it> no GRRRRRRGRRRRR sound from a happy starter motor? starter dead or not, is question 1./

lots of reasons. 2.2L or 3.0L V6? no engine told and is and engine question , no VIN and if told we tell you what's under that hood. Driving to KEY West FL. huh, LOL !!!!! not told is does it CRANK ok fast or starter is dead.? or cranks fast but will not start,. hot. << guess yes. so in 18 years no tuneups done??? spark, filters ,belts ,fluids? all spark parts bad, they hate humidity when bad, for 100years. 2.2L has 4 cops spark coils in large single unit. it may be bad or just those old old spark plugs under it. and 4 boots bad too. V6. uses same funny unified coil pack, but 2x3 and same exact answer packs , boots and spark plugs bad. that is about it, but no starts have 50 causes and lots of tests to find but a tune up is always good to do , (ignored a long time)

Daytime Running Lamps Daytime running lamps are standard on all Saturn models. The DRL relay is located in the UHFB. The coil side of the DRL relay receives battery voltage through the left headlamp fuse. Battery voltage flows through the DRL relay coil to the body control module through CKT 592. The BCM will ground CKT 592 when DRL is required. The BCM uses ignition, park lamp, headlamp, high beam and park brake inputs to control DRL. The DRL will be enabled anytime the ignition is in the RUN position, the headlamp switch is Off and the park brake switch is Off. Battery voltage is supplied through the left headlamp fuse to CKT 40 to the left high beam lamp. Voltage flows through the left high beam lamp to the IPFB through CKT 1200. Voltage flows to the right DRL relay located in the IPFB through CKT 593. The BCM provides ground to CKT 592 to energize the relay. Voltage flows through the closed contacts of the DRL relay to ground through CKT 150 to the forward lamp ground splice pack. This circuit results in both high beam lamps being connected in series, which allows the high beam lights to operate at half brightness. The BCM will turn Off the DRL relay when it sees any of the following inputs: • Gear selector in PARK • Headlamps ON • Parking brake ON • Ignition not in the RUN position • When automatic lighting control is ON and it is dark outside The BCM uses the high beam input to determine if the DRL functions are working. If the DRL functions are not operating properly a diagnostic trouble code may be set. Refer to diagnosis in this section for further information. Before having the BCM repaired as you say ,was it checked for DTC'S - diagnostic trouble codes ? An who repaired it ? DTC B2600 The daytime running lamps (DRL) are controlled by the body control module (BCM). The BCM grounds the DRL relay control circuit in order to energize the DRL relay coil. This action provides a path to ground for the RH and LH headlamps through the DRL relay and the DRL resistor. The DRL resistor reduces the intensity of the low beam headlamps for DRL operation. The BCM monitors the low and high beam circuits to ensure that the DRLs are operating properly. If the BCM senses that the DRLs are not operating properly, DTC B2600 is set. The DRL relay or DRL resistor is probably the problem . DTC B2602 Circuit Description Daytime running lamps (DRL) are controlled by the body control module (BCM) based on input from the high beam headlamp circuit 1201, the low beam headlamp circuit 1200, the parking brake circuit 1134 and ignition switch state. When DRL operation is desired, the BCM switches circuit 592 to ground. This action energizes the DRL relay. When energized, the DRL relay operates the left high beam headlamp and right high beam headlamp as a series circuit (one-half of battery voltage across each high beam headlamp). When DRL operation is not desired, the BCM does not provide ground for the DRL relay. When not energized (as when high beam headlamps are desired) the DRL relay operates the right and left high beam headlamps as a parallel circuit (full battery voltage across each high beam headlamp). For DRL operation, the parking brake must be fully released, the ignition switch must be in the RUN position and headlamp switch must be in the OFF position. Under normal operating conditions, the feedback voltage to the BCM measured at circuit 1200 is 6-8 volts. DTC B2603 Your best bet ,take it to a qualified repair shop.

OK now 2.2l told. L61 is GM name real name.ALL FUSEs checked first(ALL) CPS is 1990 name is NOW CMPcrank sensor is CKP stop reading web sites on 1990 cars, they are gone .2.2L is not at all like the Turbo with 4 cops and CMP real. also , 303 means this.1: bad engine, cyl 3. weak bad compression2: bad spark.#33: bad injector #3 swap with 4, and see of failure follows to #4.2.2 L ) L61 GM only. let me read the SM service manual on your L61 engine GM.a 2 wires CKP crank sensors, that must not be bad. or all spark ends, not just #3 ever. CKP goes only to ECM. so we skip this/The ICM runs a super strange, Ignition coil 4 in 1. ALL IN ONE COIL PACK, FIRES 1,3,4,2 AND VERY HARD TO TEST, IN A GIANT SANDWICH COIL PACK. (PAINFUL THIS)the CAM sensor is part off the ICM.(virualized synthetic)THE STATEMENT BELOW NO MATTER HOW ODD IS HOW IT DOES A VIRTUAL CMP SENSOR."The ICM detects if cylinder?1 or cylinder?3 is on the compression stroke by sensing the secondary voltage and polarity of each side of the ignition coil. The higher voltage is on the compressing cylinder. This is called compression sense ignition. The ICM provides a synthesized cam signal to the ECM based on these inputs. The ECM uses the cam signal to synchronize fuel injection. This system consists of the following circuits:" If the ECM receives an intermittent CMP signal from the ICM, DTC P0341 sets." compression sense ignition.! <<<< learn this firstif compression is bad on #3 the ICM WILL BE CONFUSEDthat is why techs, check compression first.and no EFI on earth can run a dead engine(mech. hard failed)for sure this one in SPADES.most cars do not use. compression sense ignition.and this car can not do CMP unless engine is good first. see how that matters here so much.I hope so.

do you hear a hising noise if you dont your fuel pump is shot but if you do check your spark plugs and wires..also have some one give you cables see what happens

Check you have enabled gear shift.

that is an ASE 2 year course.(sorry not typing that ever) check fuses scan the ECU not told the problem all just electric./

Question edited for clarity.Question moved to model category.https://www.google.com/search?q=2009+saturn+aura+tcm+location..

inside the transmission learn real name transmission then buy The ATSG manual it or read the cars(no year) service manual;.

no year told or country no engine told or transmission there. automatic or manual trans? is the shift lever failing via shifter cable to box. is shifter in DRIVE ? does it have drive shown PRNDL) we can not guess what car you own sorry,

Question edited for clarity. Question moved to maker category. Always include MODEL. The key to your issue is the Check Engine Light. A Scan Tool will tell you EXACTLY what the trouble it. I will give a DTC Error Code, with a 'P' and 4 numbers. like here https://www.google.com/search?q=saturn+vue+dtc+p0420 ..

check trunk fuse

If you have no DTC's then it could just be your fuel pump. To test that theory, spray a small amount of carburetor cleaner into the air intake of your car and then see if it will start and run for a short while. If you can bypass the air filter that would help with this method. If it does start, then you're more than likely in need of a new fuel pump. If it doesn't start then you'll need to troubleshoot why you don't have ignition spark.
