WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 120 other vehicles, including the 2002 Saturn Vue, 2002 Saturn SL2, 2002 Saturn SL1, 2002 Saturn SL, and 2002 Saturn SC2. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE: If battery is disconnected, Engine Control Module (ECM) is disconnected or replaced, or Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor (APPS) has been disconnected or replaced, ECM must be programmed to match the APPS.

Ensure all components are connected. Turn ignition switch to ON position, engine off. Slowly depress accelerator pedal to the floor and release accelerator pedal to idle position one time. This ensures that APPS calibration has been programmed into the ECM. Turn ignition switch to OFF position.
