Test Description

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Saturn Vue. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The numbers below refer to the step numbers in the diagnostic table.

  1. 1:  The Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle prompts the technician to complete some basic checks and store the Freeze Frame data on the scan tool, if applicable. This creates an electronic copy of the data taken when the fault occurred. The information is then stored in the scan tool for later reference.
  2. 3:  The normal voltage reading is approximately 0.67 volts. If the conditions for a DTC P2553 are present, the circuit voltage would default to 0 volts.
  3. 5:  After replacing the TAC module, a new minimum throttle position and idle speed must also be established.
