TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM PROCEDURES FOR 2008 Saturn VUE AUTOMOBILES
Description
Vehicle: 2008 Saturn VUE XE 2.4 L4 GAS
The TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitor System) warns the driver when a significant loss, or gain of tire pressure occurs in any of the four tires and allows the driver to display the individual tire pressures and the locations on the DIC (Driver Information Center) display. The system consists of the BCM (Body Control Module), DIC, instrument cluster, RCDLR (Remote Control Door Lock Receiver), a RF (Radio Frequency) transmitting tire pressure sensor in each wheel and the serial data circuit. Each tire pressure sensor has an internal power supply with a 10 year service life.
When the vehicl...
