My 2000 Saturn sl1 recently showed codes po733 and po734.What exactly does this imply and where would I start if I wanted to try fixing the problem myself?

    If I was checking the right dipstick, the trans fluid was something of a cherry red and didn't smell burnt really. Is this how it is supposed to look?

    How do you tell if the solenoids are okay or not?

Po733- gear 3 ratio incorrect, po734- gear 4 ratio incorrect. this is how to fix. You can try replacing the shift solenoids inside the transmission as long as the trans fluid is nice and clean looking. If the trans fluid is dark or burnt looking, it time for a new tranny if you need further assistance please let me know and i will be glad to assist you. Thanks, Midwest-Tek

    ya sounds like transmission fluid. Best way is to take the dipstick wipe it off. Then stick it back in and pull it out and wipe it again. Then look and see how it looks. It could also look newer if you recently got a transmission fluid flush/change. That always isnt a sign but it helps.
    All in all from what i know with experience these could be the problems for your codes.
    faulty valve body
    internal seal cut or damaged
    hyrdaulic line pressure faulty
    faulty 3rd, and 4th clutch plates
    shift solenoid packs faulty
    To test the shift solenoids a diagnostic scanner is needed to perform solenoid audible check. If solenoids are ok, transmission will need to be pulled and valve body, cluctch plates and internal seals checked.
    In all likelyhood you are looking at a transmission overhaul.
    If you need further explanation or assistance please let me know and i will be glad to assist you further. Thanks, Midwest-tek

    sorry forgot to add yes transmission fluid is red and if you feel it with your fingers it should feel oily and smooth like oil. Not to thin like water though. That could also be a sign of worn out transmission fluid.

    you have to take the transmission out to check em really. But if it wont shift into 3rd or 4th and then goes back down to the lower gear. They are bad. If the car still does a hard shift into gear they may be fine and you could possibly clean them

Hoe to fix Chrysler 300M: 99 30m Chrysler have the codes po700,po734,po733,po122,po113,po108

codes PO700, PO733, PO734 are all transmission codes all have to do with inproper outputshaft speed could be a bad outut shaft sensor but most likely the transmission is slipping, and that is not good if the transmission is shipping you will need to replace it, but try chaning the fluid and filter and and see if that does not take care of the problem.

code PO122 is the TPS sensor, code PO108 is the MAP sensor the MAP sensor can set the TPS code but the TPS can not set the MAP code so i would start with the MAP sensor ..... code PO113 is the intake air temp. sensor check the wiring on the top of the engine to make suer there is not a bad spot in the harness if all looks good then replace the sensor, but the way all 3 sensors use a commoin ground circuit so check the wiring before you replace any of the sensors......good luck

The oil filter it says my car takes wont fit only the one i had on it fits is there any way to match up the one i have with a new one exactly like it its a 2000 saturn sl1

For a 2000 Saturn sl1 4cyl 2.2 L MFI-DOHC

I looked up the part number and it shows 9018 for different types of brands. Each brand will have its own prefix like TG9018 or CH9018.

If you can take the old filter into a place like napa, autozone, or wherever and see if they can look it up as well and make sure it matches the old filter.

Need radio unlock code for 2000 saturn

Hello,

The best possible thing I could advise you to do would be this. Sometimes they can do it over the phone. Tell them that you are having issues with your radio being locked. Usually they can look up by your VIN number and get you your unlock code. Otherwise you will have to take it to the dealer and have them hook up their vehicle scanner (Tech-2) and they will be able to fix it. Everyone on the internet has their own secret ways about how to obtain these codes, but with it comes to GM the best way is to take it to a dealer.

Good Luck!
