SOURCE: checking fluid level 2008 saturn vue transmission

  • Step 1 Check the outside temperature. Start the vehicle. Drive at a normal pace for 15 minutes if the outside temperature is above 50 degrees. If the outside temperature is below 50 degrees, drive for an addition 10 minutes.
  • Step 2
  • Park the vehicle in a safe location on a level surface. Place the gear selector in the Park position. Apply the parking brake. Leave the engine running.
  • Step 3 Place your foot on the brake pedal and apply pressure. Move the gear shift lever through each gear pausing 3-4 seconds at each location. Return the gear shift lever to the Park position.
  • Step 4 Allow the engine to run at idle for 3-5 minutes. With the engine still running, pull back on the hood release lever located under the dash to the left of the driver’s side. Lift the hood to its fully opened position.
  • Step 5 Locate the Automatic Transaxle fluid dipstick near the back of the engine. It will have a red loop handle. Grasp the red loop handle and pull the dipstick straight out.
  • Step 6

  • Hello, a sidenote on how new your car is I would not worry about checking your transaxle fluid at the current time. You do the above following information to check your fluid and a good rule of thumb is to not work under a car while it's running. You can check the level by the old forefinger or pinky trick and if you can feel the fluid in the transaxle with your finger the level is fine. I would highly recommend however to check your fluid with your dipstick. If your vehicle does not have one you will have to run through the steps above and check the fluid with a mirror so you do not burn your fingers. I hopes this information solves your problem. Also a sidenote, dealerships have recalled your vehicle for a transaxle leak if yours is leaking do the check above and tighten the fill plug to a torque specification which can be found in a Haynes or Chilton Auto Repair Manual. If your vehicle is under warranty I would have your dealership correct this maintenance issue for you.
    Wipe the dipstick clean with the rag or paper towel. Insert the dipstick back into the reservoir. Wait 3-5 seconds. Pull the dipstick straight out.
  • Step 7 Observe both sides of the dipstick. Read the side with the lower level of fluid on the dipstick. If the fluid is in the crosshatched area the level is acceptable. Reinsert the dipstick into the reservoir and close the hood. If the level is below the crosshatched area, more fluid should be added to the automatic transaxle.

    SOURCE: remote start dont work in 2008 saturn vue and its

    The hood latch has a switch in it. The hood latch does not move the entire distance when the hood is closed and the switch does not close so remote start will not work. Everthing else appears to be OK. I have had two hood latch replacements on my 2008.

    SOURCE: what is a code p0601

    P0601 ENGINE CONTROL MODULE CHECKSUM ERROR


    • The nerve center of the fuel injection system is the engine control module (ECM)
    • The ECM constantly supervises the information from various sensors, and regulates the systems that start after vehicle performance.
    • The ECM is also empowered to control all the diagnostic functions of the system.
    • It can detect operational flaws and caution the driver through the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL)
    • It also records and stores a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) which detects the likely problem- making parts to help the technician while repairing.
    • In order to house the program information and the calibrations required for engine, trans-axle diagnostics operation an electrically erasable programmable read only memory (EEPROM) is used.
    • For detecting errors in the software the ECM uses a specially devised value known as the checksum.
    • The checksum (self explanatory) is a value that is the sum total of all the numbers in the software added together.
    • If the values recorded by the ECM and the checksum do not match then a checksum error is highlighted.

    Hello, looking for starter location for a 2006 saturn vue 2.2l 4 cylinder.

    If it's like every other 2.2 front wheel drive Saturn, it should be at the bottom front of the engine, away from the serpentine belt side.
    Look under the car, right side. It should be fairly obvious .
    Please disconnect the battery before attempting any removal.
