#797 of 860 Passlock 30 Minute Learn Procedure by rockfish1 Jan 25, 2007 (6:00 am)
From my understanding any time a component in the Passlock system is changed, the learn procedure must be completed for the Theft Deterrent System to sync the password. This is the procedure I used since no special tech tools or computers are required.   -----   30 Minute Learn Procedure 1. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF. 2. Attempt to start the engine, then release the key to ON, vehicle will not start. 3. Observe the SECURITY telltale light, after approximately 10 minutes the telltale light will turn OFF. 4. Turn OFF the ignition, and wait 5 seconds. Repeat steps 1 through 4 two more times for a total of 3 cycles/30 minutes, the vehicle is now ready to relearn the Passlock Sensor Data Code and/or passwords on the next ignition switch transition from OFF to CRANK.   Important The vehicle learns the Passlock Sensor Data Code and/or password on the next ignition switch transition from OFF to CRANK. You must turn the ignition OFF before attempting to start the vehicle.   Start the engine. The vehicle has now learned the Passlock Sensor Data Code and/or password.

#799 of 860 2002 SL1 Saturn Rpm funny by shaneboeger Jan 31, 2007 (5:36 pm)
I have a 2002 SL1. I have searched all posts and not found this certain problem. I hope someone can help. It started after my car was recovered from being stolen. My car idles fine when at a stand still. When i drive and push in the clutch the rpms stay above idle rpm which is about 7 or 8. If i push in the clutch or put it in nuetral while moving my rpms drop slowly to about 11 or 12 and dont go to 7 or 8 until i come to a complete stop. My car also makes a whining noise in low gears while accelerating. I was told this could me my alternator diodes going out. PLEASE HELP!!
#800 of 860 saturn 2004 ion by dcarlucci Jan 31, 2007 (6:34 pm)
I bought the car for my daughter, we change the oil every 3 to 5,ooo miles. She was having problems starting it and it was making a loud grinding noise. Took it to the dealer. She needs a new timing chain and ignition. The NHTSA is probing these issues with Saturn cars. make sure you file a complaint with the NHTSA with your issues. These are ongong issues that saturn is making the consumer pay for. Our total is 1200.00 and there are only 37,000 miles on the car. We have an attorney working with us. Call 1-800-my-lemon these people are great and will get you results. Look on the recall bulletin board for Saturns also some of these issues may be there.

#801 of 860 Starting Problems 1995 Saturn SC by michiganpogirl Feb 03, 2007 (4:16 pm)
Hi guys. Just wanted to know if anyone had any ideas for the following scenario:   I have a manual 1995 Saturn SC1 with 124000 miles on it. It has been running like champ. This morning I went to go to work and of course, it doesn't start. The interior lights and dash lights come on, the door chime sounds and the "click" happens when you turn the key. The car even ATTEMPTS to start, but its very, very weak the first time; almost no attempt the second try, and nothing but the "click" the third time. It was ZERO degrees out last night here and the car is not garaged, with wind chill its about -15 or so. Does this sound like it could be a cold weather problem or something more? AND if it is a cold weather problem, would a core heater help with this issue? Thanks so much! Replies to this message: Mr_Shiftright (Feb 03, 2007 5:16 pm) user777 (Feb 04, 2007 7:58 pm)

Replying to: michiganpogirl (Feb 03, 2007 4:16 pm) Your battery will lose 40% of its strength at that temperature, if not more. So if the battery is more than 3-4 years old to begin with, you have 40% of an old battery, not a new one.   Definitely anything you can do to keep the engine warm (or even just keeping the battery warm by bringing it inside) would be helpful.
