Test Description
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Saturn LW300, 2003 Saturn LW200, 2003 Saturn L300, and 2003 Saturn L200. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.
- 2:
This step inspects the transmission fluid to ensure that it is at the proper level.
- 3:
This step verifies that the TCC engages when commanded ON by the scan tool.
