Service Engine Soon (SES) Light On, DTC P013B and/or P0606 Set, Lack of Performance at High Ambient Temperature, Engine Hesitation When A/C Compressor Engages, Delayed Shifts When Using Cruise Control
| Subject: | Service Engine Soon (SES) Light On, DTC P013B and/or P0606 Set, Lack of Performance at High Ambient Temperatures, Engine Hesitation When A/C Compressor Engages, Delayed Shifts While Using Cruise Control (Reprogram ECM and TCM) |
| Models: | 2008 Saturn VUE |
| with Front Wheel Drive (5th and 6th digit of VIN L3), 4T45E Automatic Transmission (RPO MN5) and |
| 2.4L Engine (VIN P -- RPO LE5) |
Condition
Some customers may comment on any or all of the following concerns:
| • | Lack of performance at high ambient temperatures. |
| • | Engine roughness when the A/C compressor is engaged. |
| • | Delayed shifts while using cruise control. |
| • | MIL/SES DTC P013B - HO2S Slow Response Lean to Rich Sensor 2. |
| • | MIL/SES DTC P0606 - Control Module Internal Performance. |
Correction
Important: Verify that the 12-volt battery has a battery charge of 12 to 16 volts. The battery must be able to maintain a charge during programming. Only use approved Midtronics 165-PCS charger or equivalent to maintain proper battery voltage during programming. The J2534 MDI will reprogram the modules in less time than the Tech 2® scan tool.
Updated ECM and TCM calibrations are now available to address these concerns. Reprogram the controllers with the updated calibration files using the TIS2WEB Service Programming System (SPS) application. These calibrations will be available as an ECM/TCM programming sequence event.
