Diagnostic Procedure

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 6 other vehicles, including the 2001 Saturn SW2, 2001 Saturn SL2, 2001 Saturn SL1, 2001 Saturn SL, and 2001 Saturn SC2. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Diagnosis of computerized engine control system should be performed in the following order:

  1. Ensure all engine systems not related to computer system are operating properly. DO NOT proceed with testing unless all other problems have been repaired. On-Board Diagnostic (OBD) system check must be performed before using specific DTC testing procedure. See POWERTRAIN DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM CHECK .
  2. If no DTCs are present and a driveability problem exists, refer to SYMPTOMS in appropriate TROUBLE SHOOTING - NO CODES article. Doing so will help identify proper system or component to check in appropriate SYSTEM & COMPONENT TESTING article.
  3. After necessary repairs are made, clear DTCs, verify vehicle will enter "closed loop" operation and ensure DTC does not reset.
