Service Engine Soon (SES) Light On, Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P0443, P0102, P0135, P0141, P023A, Engine Starts, Runs Rough, Stalls Repeatedly (Replace Coolant Pump Charge Air Cooler, 15 amp Fuse)

Subject:Service Engine Soon (SES) Light On, Engine Starts but Runs Rough and Stalls Repeatedly, Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) P0443, P0102, P0135, P0141, P023A Set (Replace Coolant Pump Charge Air Cooler and 15 amp Emission Fuse)

Models:2004-2005 Saturn ION Red Line Coupe

Attention: Fixed Operations Manager and Technician


Condition

Some customers may comment on the engine running rough, stalling repeatedly, and the SES light is on. DTCs P0443, P0102, P0135, P0141, P023 set.

Cause

The coolant pump charge air cooler rubber insulator may not be positioned correctly causing the pump motor to bind and open the emission fuse (15-amp #10 Under Hood Junction Box [UHJB]). The open emission fuse will result in the DTCs being set and the SES light coming on.

Correction

Verify the coolant pump charge air cooler is causing the 15-amp #10 emissions fuse to open by following the procedures outlined in this bulletin.

Procedure

  1. Turn ignition key OFF.
  2. Replace the 15-amp #10 emissions fuse in the UHJB.
  3. Turn ignition key ON (RUN position), but do not start engine.
  4. Using the TECH 2®, Special Function, turn the coolant pump charge air cooler ON.
  5. Important: The position of the charge air cooler pump motor insulator is critical to the operation of the pump. A small gap (5 mm, 0.20 in.) between the ends of the insulator is required for proper charge air cooler pump operation. The insulator should NOT overlap once installed.

    Important: Re-use the Coolant Pump Charge Air Cooler insulator.

  6. If the 15-amp #10 emissions fuse opens, replace the charge air cooler pump. (Refer to "Coolant Pump Replacement - Charge Air Cooler" procedures (SI Document ID #1389541) in the appropriate Saturn ION Engine Service Manual.
  7. If the fuse does not open, continue with the diagnosis of the DTCs stored in the Powertrain Control Module (PCM).
  8. Start engine and verify repair.
