| Subject: | Service Information for VUE Second Design Latch Kits |
| Models: | 2002-2003 Interim Saturn VUE with First Design Door and Liftgate Latching Systems |
| Built Up To and Including VIN Breakpoint 3S825934 |
| Attention: | Fixed Operations Manager, Parts Manager, Technician |
Purpose:
Due to a design change in the door and liftgate latching systems, a second design latch kit must be used to service first design 2002 and 2003 interim door and liftgate latching systems. The kits contain second design latches and rods that are designed to work as a complete latching system. If any one component listed in the kits below must be replaced for any reason, all components of the kit must be replaced in order to complete the repair. These two systems are not interchangeable. Also, when replacing a door or liftgate latch, the BCM must be reprogrammed with a new calibration. The service kits with second design latching system components will be the only parts available.
Important: The new BCM calibration will work with the first design latches. Therefore, only replacement of the affected latch is necessary.
DOOR/LIFTGATE | KIT COMPONENTS |
|---|---|
Front Door Kit | Latch, Inside Handle Rod, Lock Button Rod, Lock Cylinder Rod |
Rear Door Kit | Latch, Inside Handle Rod, Lock Button Rod |
Liftgate Kit | Latch and Lock Cylinder Rod |
After a latching system has been replaced with a 2nd design latch kit, individual components may be serviced with 2nd design components. The two systems can be identified by inspecting the latch through the door or liftgate shut-face.
Procedure:
Refer to the "Doors/Windows/Mirrors" or "Body Rear End" section of the 2002-2003 VUE Body Removal & Installation Service Manual for latching system removal and installation.
