#152 of 170 Check engine light on by claudiucet May 02, 2009 (8:05 pm)
I do have a Saturn VUE 2002,engine size 2.2.I have the check engine light on for a few weeks,and today i had the codes retreived,and I really don`t know what to replace.These are the codes P0378-Timing reference high resolution Signal B intermitent erratic pulse P0778-Pressure control solenoid B electrical B0387-Crankshaft position sensor B circuit low Also there are so other codes which the computer sais-undefined. I am sure the rest of the codes are practically triggered by only one code.My assumption is the Crankshaft position sensor could be the problem(and could be an electrical problem,maybe not the sensor itself)So is there anybody who can give me a clue,does anybody had ever had the same code(codes)?Please any suggestion is really appreciated NOTE-The vehicle runs just fine!No rough idle,stars very nice.

Replying to: pegm (Jul 25, 2007 7:34 am) I've messed wit a lot of these newer gm cars and trucks in building street toys. Doesn't make me a mec-a-nic, but a couple of things I have learned: 1. All engine control and body control sensor grounds run through the sensor into the ECM/PCM/BCM (computer) and then to ground. 2. When and if there is a bad or loose or insufficient ground, the gauges and some time lights will go nuts because they are seeking to find a different route to ground by. That being said, check, or have your mechanic check for loose grounds or bad wires. If the vehicle has ever been in a collision, check around that area. If a new part has been added or replaced do likewise.   Gremlins are everywhere, kill'em on site!

#155 of 170 2008 Saturn Vue AWD Wiring by surferwood Aug 05, 2009 (1:15 pm)
I am wiring my motorhome lights to the Saturn lights for towing. I would like to wire in under the hood instead of pulling up carpet, etc. to run all the way to the back of the car. Can you tell me the colors and location under the hood of the wiring for the brakes, running lights and turn signals?   Thanks! Replies to this message: prrgg1 (Aug 05, 2009 4:57 pm)

Replying to: surferwood (Aug 05, 2009 1:15 pm) I have an 06 Vue. The wireing from the front of the Vue where the recepticle plugs in from the motorhome is totally isolated from the Vue system. The wireing runs underneath the Vue to the rear up into the taillight housing and seperate bulbs were mounted inside the housings. So the motorhome is directly connected to the new Vue taillight bulbs. Again nothing is connected to the Vue internal wireing, its much simpler than messing with diodes etc.

Replying to: tidester (Jul 20, 2006 9:42 pm) Tidester. I have completely redone my 2003 Saturn Vue. Mechanic by trade I rebuilt the engine and transmission, interior, wiring and even body. If anyone needs help just let me know.

Replying to: mbullhead (Aug 22, 2009 12:41 pm) I am impressed - and curious! Did you buy your VUE new or used and how much time and money did you put into the makeover?   tidester, host SUVs and Smart Shopper

Replying to: mbullhead (Aug 22, 2009 12:41 pm) my check engine light has gone on and off since I bought it on 6/8/2007- I guess my vue is a 2002... anyway so when it was time to smog it under stricter calif law-- even though it passed smog the check engine light fails the certificate... so we found a guy & got him to pass it- the next day... the speedometer-odometer- cruise control - power steering went out- it starts like its running in 3rd gear so I put it in low gear which makes it go, but switching it back into drive makes a thud... the horn went out in january. is it my transmission?

Replying to: mbullhead (Aug 22, 2009 12:41 pm) Just a few issues:   In July 2009, I purchased a 2003 Saturn Vue from a dealership in Roseville, CA. There was no lighter in the car so the salesman gave us a "random" lighter and when we tried to use it apparently a fuse blew. The fuses we bought at Kragen did not work and according to my husband there is something "strange" about the wiring for the electrical system relating to the lighter. Do you know where I can purchase a lighter if the cause of this problem is that the salesman gave us the wrong type of lighter? What type of fuses do we need to purchase?   Second Issue: There have been three occasions when I start my car and go down the street but the car isn't really driving....I coast to a neighbor's driveway and have to turn the engine off...and wait a few minutes. When I turn the engine back on, the car seems to "kick into gear" and I can then drive it. Weird! I assume this is probably a transmission issue. The vehicle has 59,000 miles, automatic, and has the transmission that I have subsequently learned has a lot of problems.   I contacted a warranty company and was told that if I chose to buy a warranty that the company would require me to put some fluid that it was going to mail to me into the transmission since there have been so many transmission problems with this vehicle. I have not yet purchased the warranty but am curious what type of fluid the company was going to send me. I went to Kragen and almost purchased some transmission fluid for slipping transmissions but after reading the instructions on the fluid container, the fluid was not designed for this type of transmission. Do you know of any type of prevention measures that I can take so that my transmission may last longer? Also, where is the dip-stick for the transmission fluid?   Also, the dealership where I bought the vehicle did not have an owner's manual and I did not want to pay the $50+ cost for a manual but I desperately need one. I understand that the 2003 Saturn Vue has many, if not all, of the same features as the 2004 Saturn Vue. If that is correct, I can download the 2004 Saturn Vue manual from the Saturn website. Thougths?   I apologize if these questions seem as though I am ignorant about my vehicle...but basically I suppose that is a correct assumption...smile!   Thank you for any assistance you may be able to provide.
