Saturn VUE Hybrid 2008–2010 Service & Owner Manual Set (P/N 25814240 A)

The owner's book covers daily operation and routine care, while the service files move into component removal, bench repair, system setup, and module-related work.

Application limits: Vehicle-specific service headers identify the 2009 model year. The 2MT70 material is explicitly labeled FWD; AWD references belong to the broader VUE/VUE Hybrid/Captiva Sport chapters. HP5 battery service requires the separately referenced GM High Voltage Disabling and High Voltage Enabling procedures.

PDF Search, Bookmarks and Wiring Detail

Search and navigation: Owner and service text supports PDF search, but the two DTC lists and labels within image-based schematics do not. The Owner Manual has named chapter bookmarks; most service-file bookmarks use numbered labels. Both DTC lists and three single-page hybrid schematics lack bookmarks. Small wiring labels require zooming.

ZIP download containing 79 printable English PDFs totaling 3,634 pages, including the Owner Manual's four frontmatter pages and six notes pages. A 177-page 2.4L engine-controls file appears in both service folders; both copies are included in the total.

Hybrid Systems, Powertrain Repair and Vehicle Service

The following selected content highlights show the main repair areas rather than a complete contents list. Further topics include sunroof motor initialization and track synchronization.

• Engine repair: In-vehicle replacement work and off-vehicle disassembly, inspection, measurement, cylinder honing, thread repair, and reassembly for the 2.4L LAT/LE5 applications.

• Hybrid transaxle: FWD 2MT70 fluid service, range-cable adjustment, transmission removal, bench disassembly and assembly, and selective measurements.

• Hybrid controls and batteries: Separate HP5 and HP7 sections cover system inspection, service disconnects, power electronics, generator/starter components, battery packs, and cooling equipment.

• Brakes and steering: ABS automated bleeding, steering-angle centering, hydraulic and disc brake service, power-steering work, and component replacement.

• Suspension and body: Front and rear suspension, wheel bearings, drive shafts, exterior panels, and collision-repair sectioning and welding procedures.

• Cabin systems: SIR component service, HVAC refrigerant recovery and recharging, windows, seats, trim, and lighting replacement procedures.

• Electrical setup: Wiring schematics, TPMS sensor learn, immobilizer/key relearn, and remote-function programming.

The operating material suits owners and experienced DIYers handling routine care. Hybrid-energy, brake, SIR, HVAC, and transmission work calls for trained technicians with the required scan tools, electrical-isolation equipment, lifting equipment, and refrigerant-service gear.

HP5 and HP7 System Detail

The HP5 material centers on the drive motor/generator power inverter module (PIM), accessory DC power control module (APM), hybrid powertrain control module (HPCM), dual motor/generator assemblies, and the high-voltage drive-motor battery. HP7 coverage follows the generator with starter, generator control module, generator battery, battery current and temperature sensing, cooling pump, and vent fan.

The separate labels matter when choosing a connector view, wiring diagram, or repair procedure. During PIM repair, residual coolant can damage the electronics if the module is opened before draining; removing individual high-voltage cables from their mounting block can compromise cable sealing and shielding.

Engine and Transmission Workshop Detail

Step-by-step engine procedures cover drive-belt, timing-chain, camshaft-actuator, cylinder-head, oil-pan, and engine replacement work. Off-vehicle material extends to crankshaft and piston/rod inspection, valve work, balance-shaft timing, and oil-pump service, with torque tables, clearances, wear limits, and temperature/resistance data.

The 2MT70 files include valve-body and pump service, clutch and accumulator work, motor/generator rotor and stator service, and differential repair. The torque dampener must remain straight during lifting and installation to avoid clutch lip-seal damage; overtightening its lifting handles can damage the housing.

Additional engine applications: General engine-controls PDFs for the 3.5L LZ4 and 3.6L LY7 are included as separate VUE/Captiva service chapters. Cooling and exhaust chapters also identify LCS applications; these shared chapters do not extend every hybrid procedure to each engine.

Factory-tool references include the J-46625 transmission holding fixture, J-39890 fixture adapter, EN-48953 camshaft actuator locking tool, EN-48749 timing-chain retention kit, EN-43650 balance-shaft bearing remover/installer, and J-46079 tire-pressure monitor diagnostic tool.

Schematics and Owner Reference

Named schematic coverage includes Battery Modules, High Voltage Disconnect, Transmission Speed Sensors (ISS/OSS), IMS and TFP Switches, Drive Motor Generator Control Module Cooling Pumps, and Front Sensors, Seat Belt Pretensioners. PIM diagrams also show power, grounds, data communications, and the A/C compressor.

Exploded views identify the transmission case, pump, control valve body, clutch assemblies, differential carrier, cylinder head, timing drive, and engine block. The two DTC appendices are code-definition lists, not full vehicle-specific diagnostic trees.

The owner manual retains active head restraints, LATCH child-restraint installation, warning lights, Driver Information Center messages, climate controls, engine-coolant-heater use, PASS-Key III+ operation, and RKE transmitter battery replacement. Its automatic engine start/stop section explains how battery charge, engine temperature, and climate-control demand affect normal engine stopping and restarting.

Hybrid energy-storage work requires the applicable GM high-voltage disabling and verification procedures with proper PPE. Brake, SIR, refrigerant, and heavy transmission operations likewise require the specified shop equipment and trained handling.

Selected Transmission Capacities and Engine Clearances

For the FWD 2MT70, the fluid-capacity table distinguishes 6.5–7 liters for a drain and fill from approximately 8.9 liters after overhaul. These figures apply to different service conditions.

The 2.4L LAT/LE5 engine specifications list connecting-rod bearing clearance of 0.029–0.073 mm, alongside the related component inspection and assembly procedures.
