Therefore, you MUST identify your specific Saturn model and transmission type. This information is usually found on a sticker located inside the driver's side door jamb or in your owner's manual. Look for information like:
* Model: (e.g., SL, SL1, SL2, SC, SW, etc.)
* Engine: (e.g., 1.9L, 2.0L, 2.2L, etc.)
* Transmission: (e.g., 4T60-E, 4T45-E, etc. For automatics; manual transmissions usually just list the gear count, like "5-speed").
Once you have this information, you can:
1. Consult your owner's manual: This is your first and best resource. It should have specific instructions if a transmission relearn procedure is necessary for your vehicle.
2. Search online: Use a search engine like Google, Bing, or DuckDuckGo and search for "[Your Saturn Model and Year] transmission relearn." Be sure to include the transmission type if you know it. Look for reputable sources like repair manuals or forums dedicated to your specific Saturn model.
3. Consult a repair manual: A Haynes or Chilton repair manual for your specific year and model Saturn will contain detailed instructions, including diagrams and troubleshooting steps.
4. Visit a qualified mechanic: If you're uncomfortable performing this procedure yourself, take your car to a qualified mechanic. They have the tools and expertise to correctly perform the procedure and diagnose any underlying transmission issues.
Important Considerations:
* "Transmission relearn" often refers to procedures for adapting to a new battery, a new PCM (Powertrain Control Module), or sometimes after a major transmission repair. It's not a routine maintenance task. If your transmission is simply shifting poorly, a relearn procedure might not fix the underlying problem. A mechanic should diagnose the cause of the shifting issue.
* Incorrectly performing a transmission relearn procedure could potentially damage your transmission.
Don't attempt any procedure without proper identification of your vehicle's specifics and a reliable source of instructions. Safety first!
