Passock Issue I was driving home from work, and just before I get home I have to stop at a 4 way stop. When I hit the brakes and came to a complete stop, the passlock light came on as well as "SERVICE VEHICLE". The rest of the way home I didn't experience any issues. Also, as soon as I was home I shut off the car, restarted it, and the issue was gone. Any clue what this could be? Perhaps a glitch in the system? If it comes on again maybe I will take it to a mechanic while the issue is on before I turn the car off. Any suggestions would be well appreciated!

Probably something shorting out. This is something that probably isn't going to be easy to figure out. You need someone that can diagnose it in person

Disconnect the battery and reconnect.
This should clear the computer memory.
This may cure the problem.
Suspect extreme cold primary cause in transmission?
Good Luck !

i was having a similar problem with my 2000 SL. when the taillights would go, so would the cruise control. and through many bulb and fuse replacements, i finally went into a saturn dealership and they did a recall campaign on it. they did their thing and i havnt had any problems since. FREE!

Yup. The throttle body connectors have a history of failing on these cars. Replace the throttle body and the wire connectors that go to it, and you're back in business. Not terribly difficult and you can get the parts from any dealer. Saturn actually has a bulletin out on this problem but they won't cover it unless you're under warranty - no recall for this.

Reverse & 2nd gear share the same clutch pack.Usually when reverse goes out you will get wierd shifting into 2nd or 3rd.Most likey the Input shaft retaining nut has come loose inside the first clutch housing.It can be accessed from the trans end cover but it will take some disassembly.The trans doesn't have to come out to correct this problem.I repaired many saturns with this problem.The only parts you will have to buy is an end cover gasket(paper gasket) & 41/2 qts Trans fluid.Decent mechanice could do this in about 2-3 hrs or less.The service engine light is probally on due to trouble codes from the trans controller most likey DTC P0723 No 2nd gear.hope this helps
