I have a 2008 Saturn Vue XR AWD 3.6L V-6 Service engine light on, with codes P0449, P2135 and P1516. Was driving and engine stuttered and died. Had power, but would not crank. While under hood, heard

It could be. Did it start right after the front end was done? The transmission control cable may have been damaged or adjustment changed by accident.

jack up and support vehicle -remove wheel -remove caliper -remove rotor can also look up for a video ---how to replace rear brakes saturn vue or equinox

Have you had the engine control system computer scanned for fault codes?? Do that first and go from those results.

Here is what meens those codes:

P2106
Throttle Actuator Control System - Forced Limited Power

P2110
Throttle Actuator Control System - Forced Limited RPM

P2135
Throttle/Pedal Position Sensor/Switch "A"/"B" Voltage Correlation

P1516
Throttle Actuator Control (TAC) Module Throttle Actuator Position Performance

I beleive that there is, specifically for chevrolet aveo 2006 a technician service bulletins.

You should have it checked at gm dealer!!!

ask for
TSB Number: SB-08-06-04-004
TSB Number: 08-06-04-023

p1515,p1516 and p1271 What do these codes mean specifically? I'm lazy, I'm not researching that

1. This engine uses the Throttle Actuator Control (TAC) system. Thoroughly clean the throttle bore and throttle plate.

2. Inspect the air intake system for a missing or contaminated air filter

there is also a tsb on it TSB 07-06-04-003 for p1516 that involves replacing the pcm

Attention: The following bulletin information is only to be used if the customer has returned for REPEAT repairs for DTCs P1516, P2135 and/or P2138.



Condition

Some customers may comment on engine operation in the Reduce Engine Power mode with the MIL/SES light illuminated. This condition may be repeated and upon investigation, the technician may find the following DTCs set as current or in history:

• DTC P1516 Throttle Actuator Control (TAC) Module Throttle Actuator Position Performance
• DTC P2135 Throttle Position (TP) Sensor 1-2 Correlation
• DTC P2138 Accelerator Pedal Position (APP) Sensor 1-2 Correlation
Cause

This condition of a repeat DTC P1516, P2135 and/or P2138 may be caused by an internal concern with the PCM.

Important: DO NOT replace the APP sensor. Inspect the PCM build date first.

Before following the diagnostic information in SI on DTCs P1516, P2135 and/or P2138, an inspection of the PCM serial number year and Julian (PCM build) date will be necessary to determine if the PCM will need to be replaced to correct the repeat DTC P1516. Refer to Engine Control Module Replacement in SI in order to remove the PCM. Refer to the above graphic illustration (1) for the location of the PCM serial number.

The serial number is read left to right. The last digit of the year is the 9th character and the Julian date is comprised of the 10th, 11th and 12th characters and is used to determine the PCM build date. Refer to the example below to read a build date from the PCM serial number:

* 8 6 Y N AU K 1 5 3 2 5 0 R P N *

If the PCM year and Julian dates are between 5182 and 5304 , replace the PCM. Refer to the Part Catalog to order the correct PCM for your vehicle application, if necessary.

Vehicles with PCM built outside the dates should refer to SI diagnostics for DTCs P1516, P2135 and/or P2138

IT'S AUTOMATIC! If there is a "TCS" or "Traction Control" button/switch, then leave that engaged at virtually all times. That year of the Saturn Vue did not come with 4WD (4x4); it offered AWD (all-wheel drive) which automatically supplements its traction control system (which was standard on all trims of that model in that year). AWD tranfers up to 50% of the power to the rear wheels when it detects wheel slippage. One up side (or pro) to having AWD is that you can use it on pavement. 4WD is generally too aggressive for that.
