Saturn L-Series

The Saturn L-Series was a range of vehicles produced in 2000 to 2005 by Saturn Corporation. Based on the Opel Vectra B, these mid-size sedans and station wagons were offered with straight-4 and V6 engines with 5-speed manual/4-speed automatic transmissions.

Where are the coils located on the Saturn L200?

Assuming that you're asking about the 4 cylinder version...

Top center of the engine. In between the Cam humps of the valve cover.

It IS the fancy black panel that goes from left to right and has a wiring connector plugged in on the right side (as you look under the hood). There's a few 10mm screws that hold it down. Under it, you will find the spark plugs.

Does the 2000 Saturn LS have a timing chain or belt?

All 1991-2002 Saturn S-series cars have a timing chain. The Ecotec 2.2 and 2.4 L engines also have a chain.

BUT!!!The V6 engines all have timing BELTS.

Are there 2 speed sensors on a Saturn L200?

There sure are. There is an output sensor and an input sensor on the automatic transmissions. The output sensor is external, controls the speedometer, and is easily changed. The input sensor is a nightmare! It is internal, and believed to control the shift points. Some GM dealers will tell you that it is external, and not a problem, but don't believe it. It is inside the transmission right behind the valve body, which must be removed. In order to remove the pan and valve body, (as well as the filter), you must remove the transmission from the car!!! If the problem is intermittent like mine, and it still shifts normally, just reset the check engine light and ignore it.

Where is the ob2 computer located on a 2004 Saturn L300?

For most GM vehicles the computer is located to the right of the glove box. You need to remove the glove box to access the computer.

How do you test a Fan Control Module on a 2002 Saturn L200?

If when you write "fan control module" you really mean "fan relay", it's easy. The fan relay is usually the same as the horn or AC relay. Check the numbers on top, and if they're identical, simply swap the relays to see if the problem follows the relay or if the fan still doesn't work.

The relays are in the fuse box that's close to the battery, and they're labeled on the lid of the box. Carefully work the two relays out of their sockets and simply switch them.

If it's a relay problem, most auto parts retailers should be able to find an inexpensive replacement for you.

What size tires for 2005 Saturn Ion?

The standard tire size for a 2005 Saturn Ion is typically P195/60R15. However, some models may also come with options like P205/55R16. It's important to check the owner’s manual or the tire information placard on the vehicle for the exact specifications for your specific model and trim.

How do you fix a code P0050 IN A Saturn L300?

P0050 HO2S Heater Control Circuit Bank2 Sensor1


symptoms
Other than the MIL light illuminating you may not notice any performance issues.

cause
A short in the O2 sensor heater circuit or the sensor itself
A faulty O2 sensor heater
Wiring or connectors are broken or frayed to the sensor or relay
Bad PCM or ECM

The fix
Correct wiring short or loose connector found in inspection.
and/or
Replace the bank 2 sensor 1, O2 sensor
Replace PCM if circuit has failed and no wiring issues present, good O2 sensor

How do you locate the timing marks on a timing chain for 2000 Saturn ls2?

The LS2 uses the Ecotech V6 engine, and as such does not have a timing chain; instead, it uses a timing belt.

The camshafts (4) and crankshaft are held in position by a special set of tools designed just for that job. Do not attempt to replace the timing belt without the set of specialized clamps.

Does the 2000 Saturn l series have an EGR Valve?

Yes, the 2000 Saturn L-Series is equipped with an EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) valve. The EGR valve helps reduce nitrogen oxide emissions by recirculating a portion of the exhaust gas back into the engine's intake manifold. If you are experiencing issues with your vehicle's performance, a malfunctioning EGR valve could be a potential cause to investigate.

Where is the carborater on a 2001 Saturn L200?

The Saturn does not use a carburetor, it's a fuel injected engine.

Is 10w30 OK to use in a 1996 Saturn?

That depends entirely on the condition of the engine. If the bearings are not worn, you would do better with a lighter weight oil (lower viscosity). If the bearings are starting to wear a little, you'll need something with a little higher viscosity, such as 10W30 or even higher.

The oil pressure gauge is the best indicator of whether you should be using a higher viscosity oil. If the oil pressure drops significantly when the engine is hot and at an idle, switch to a higher viscosity oil. If the oil pressure stays up, don't use the higher viscosity.

What does the service wrench light indicate on a 2003 Saturn L 300?

It means the same as on any of the GM vehicles that show the service wrench; it means the computer has detected a problem that should be resolved to prevent damage to the engine.

You, or your vehicle mechanic should connect a diagnostic scanner to see what the computer has detected. The light just says that the computer has a "stored code." The scanner will tell you the code, and some of them will even tell you what it means.

Where is the horn located on a Saturn L300?

Oh, dude, the horn on a Saturn L300 is usually located behind the front bumper, like hiding out in there, ready to honk at any moment. It's like a secret agent waiting to make some noise. Just give it a little tap and watch out for startled pedestrians!

Why does your 1992 Saturn turn off when i go stop?

It could be one of several problems:

If the lockup torque converter relay isn't releasing, you'll have that problem.

If the engine has insufficient power at an idle, you'll have that problem.

If you don't think it's the torque converter, start with a tuneup, and make certain that the EGR is functioning properly, the fuel pressure is normal, the Oxygen sensor is in good condition, clean air filter, and generally, everything is set up properly.

Run a diagnostic test; you should be able to borrow a code scanner from a local auto parts store, (O'Reilly, Auto Zone) or even better, buy one for the future.

Why does my 2003 Saturn L300 6-Cyl 3.0L occasionally jerk when changing gears?

If it pulls to the side of the transmission it could have a transmission problem in the future or a bad cv joint on that side.

Where is the bank 2 sensor 1 o2 sensor located on a 2000 sl lw2 v6?

The #1 oxygen sensors are installed into the exhaust manifold. If a vehicle has #2 oxygen sensors, they are after the catalytic converter.

Bank 1 is between the engine and the firewall.

It is highly recommended that you replace both oxygen sensors at the same time, since the failure of one sensor is a good indicator that the other is about to fail.

Coolant sensor on a 1998 Saturn?

Easy place, just hard to describe. It is located on the side of the engine, not front or back. It is located on the drivers side. A little below and back of the the upper radiator hose. (I RECOMMEND WHEN REPLACING THE SENSOR, TO ALSO REPLACE THE WIRING FOR IT TOO, GM SELLS THE NEW HARNESS FOR IT).

Where is powersteering fuse located on 2004 Saturn?

2004 Saturn what?? if it has electric power steering its and ion or vue, its under the hood in the fuse block on the drivers side, depending on the car, its a mini fuse or a j-case fuse, did you blow it when jump starting??

What is the function of a passlock sensor on a 2001 Saturn l200?

security to hamper theft. It prevents "smashing" the ignition cylinder to turn the steeering wheel

Where are the o2 sensors located on a 2000 Saturn l series?

From the top, look at the exhaust manifold. There is a little device that's screwed into each exhaust manifold right about the location where all of the cylinders have come together. THAT's the oxygen sensors.

If you need to replace either, do them both at the same time. The other one is almost gone by the time you get the message on the first.

Just screw them out and put in the new ones. The replacement sensors MAY or MAY NOT have the same electrical plug so you may need to do a little surgery that way, but it's quite simple.
