A/C & HEATER SERVICE PROCEDURES FOR 2003 Saturn VUE AUTOMOBILES
General Service Domestic Vehicles -> 2003-04 -> Leak Test -> Electronic Leak Detectors -> Fluid Leak Detectors
Vehicle: 2003 Saturn VUE 3.0 V6 GAS
Testing the refrigerant system for leaks is one of the most important phases of troubleshooting. One or more of the methods outlined will prove useful in detecting leaks or checking connections if service work is performed. Before beginning any leak test, attach a manifold gauge set and note pressure. If little or no pressure is indicated, a partial charge must be installed. Check all connections, compressor head gasket, oil filler plug and compressor shaft seal for leaks.
For R-134a system an electronic type leak detector is recommended.

BRAKE SERVICE PROCEDURES FOR 2003 Saturn VUE AUTOMOBILES
Power Brake Units -> Delco Brake Booster -> Description -> Operation -> Single Diaphragm Type -> Tandem (Dual) Diaphragm Type
Vehicle: 2003 Saturn VUE 2.2 L4 GAS
In order to properly service power brake systems, a thorough understanding of the various power assist systems is required. These systems provide a mechanical assist, acting to increase the force applied to the master cylinder piston by the driver while decreasing the effort required to obtain acceptable stopping performance. Two basic types of power assist mechanisms are used: vacuum assist diaphragm assemblies which use engine vacuum and in some cases vacuum from an external vacuum pump, and hydraulic assist assemblies which use hydraulic pressure developed by an external pump (us...
