WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 32 other vehicles, including the 2002 Saturn SL2, 2002 Saturn SL1, 2002 Saturn SL, 2002 Saturn SC2, and 2002 Saturn SC1. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- If none of the previous tests are successful, attempt to duplicate or capture the failure conditions.
- Freeze Frame/Failure Records data, where applicable, contains the conditions that were present when the DTC set. Perform the following procedure:
- Review and record Freeze Frame/Failure Records data.
- Clear the DTCs using the scan tool.
- Turn the key to OFF and wait 15 seconds.
- Operate the vehicle under the same conditions that were noted in Freeze Frame/Failure Records data, as closely as possible. The vehicle must also be operating within the Conditions for Running DTC.
- Monitor DTC Status for the DTC being tested. The scan tool will indicate Ran, when the enabling conditions have been satisfied long enough for the DTC to run. The scan tool will also indicate whether the DTC passed or failed.
- An alternate method is to drive the vehicle with the Digital Multimeter (DMM) connected to a suspected circuit. An abnormal reading on the DMM when the problem occurs, may help you locate the problem.
