Condition
Some customers may comment on a crank, no start or extended crank (3 seconds or greater) prior to vehicle starting or delayed engagement when
shifting into "REVERSE" (no DTCs or noise, could be 3-4 second delay or longer). One or more of the diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) shown may also
be set.
Cause
Specific terminals on the 73-way (C1) connector and 56-way (C2) connector may be damaged as a result of a deformed (misshapen) male pin at the
PCM. In the event that the male pin of the PCM does not provide the correct shape, installation ofthe connector to PCM may potentially damage the
female terminals of the connectors.
Correction
Replace PCM, P/N 12583698, and damaged PCM terminals using Wire Lead Kit, P/N 22692904.
Service Procedure

Verify that crank, no start, or extended crank comments are not related to fuel delivery concerns. (Refer to Corporate Bulletin Number

2004 Saturn VUE Service Manual, Vol. 1 for diagnostic assistance.
3.
Remove the PCM C1 and C2 connectors.
4.
Using probe tool J 35616-64A (0.64 mm) from kit J35616-C, carefully check terminal retention on suspect circuits.
