Date: 070824
Campaign - ECM/TCM/Wiring Update For Battery Charging
Subject:
Customer Satisfaction - Battery Not Charging-Limited Drive Time
# 07195 - (08/24/2007)
Models:
2007 Saturn VUE Green Line
Condition
On certain 2007 Saturn VUE Green Line vehicles, when high resistance in the resolver circuit is detected, recharging of the 12-volt battery stops. If this
occurs, the battery light or check engine light will be on, the charge assist gauge will not move, and hybrid operation (such as engine shutdown when
stopped) is disabled. When the 12-volt battery is not being recharged, the vehicle can only be driven for approximately 20 to 60 minutes, depending on
the electrical accessories being used, before the engine will stop running and potentially not restart. If the vehicle is turned off and then restarted when
the condition is first observed, the system may reset and the battery warning light will go off. The vehicle will operate as intended; however, the
condition may occur again the next time the ignition is turned on.
Correction
Retailers are to add a wire harness and reprogram the engine control module (ECM) and transmission control module (TCM).
