2008–2010 Saturn VUE Hybrid Service Manual (P/N 25814240)

• Coverage is tied to 2009 Saturn VUE service information: the pages identify VUE Hybrid (VIN Z), include material labeled Green Line and HYBRID 2 MODE, and separate hybrid systems by HP5 and HP7. The included 2009 Saturn VUE Green Line Hybrid Owner Manual is Part No. 25814240 A, First Printing.
• 2.4L LAT/LE5 engine repair runs from in-vehicle drive-belt, timing-chain, camshaft-actuator, cylinder-head, oil-pan, and engine replacement work through off-vehicle crankshaft, piston/rod, valve, balance-shaft, oil-pump, inspection, measurement, and reassembly procedures.
• 2MT70 FWD hybrid transaxle service includes fluid and range-cable work, transmission removal, complete bench disassembly and assembly, valve-body and pump service, clutch and accumulator work, motor/generator rotor and stator service, differential repair, and selective measurements.
• Separate HP5 and HP7 hybrid sections cover high-voltage inspection and disabling, power-inverter and control-module service, three-phase cables, battery packs and disconnects, generator/starter components, battery cooling, coolant pumps, hoses, radiators, and vent fans.
• Chassis and body coverage adds ABS automated bleeding and steering-angle centering, hydraulic and disc brakes, power steering, front and rear suspension, Supplemental Inflatable Restraints (SIR), HVAC, TPMS learn, immobilizer/key relearn, remote-function setup, windows, seats, panels, lighting, and collision repair.
• 79 PDFs totaling 3,634 pages: Owner Manual, 346 pages; general service chapters, 2,044 pages; hybrid-folder service extracts, 1,197 pages; generic and GM DTC references, 47 pages. One 177-page 2.4L engine-controls PDF appears in both the service and hybrid folders.

This is a combined owner-information and repair-data set rather than one bound manual. 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. The operating material is suitable for owners and experienced DIYers handling routine maintenance; the hybrid-energy, brake, SIR, HVAC, and transmission sections are suited to trained technicians with the required scan tools, electrical-isolation equipment, lifting equipment, and refrigerant-service gear.

Hybrid and Powertrain 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.

The engine files distinguish LAT and LE5 applications and include torque tables, clearances, wear limits, thread-repair data, temperature/resistance tables, and component views. General engine-controls PDFs for the 3.5L LZ4 and 3.6L LY7 are also included, but they are separate VUE/Captiva service chapters rather than proof that either engine applies to every hybrid configuration.

Electrical, Diagnostic, and Owner Information

Named schematic coverage includes Drive Motor Generator Power Inverter Module Power, Grounds, Data Communications and A/C Compressor, 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. The 2MT70 and 2.4L sections add exploded or disassembled views for the transmission case, pump, control valve body, clutch assemblies, differential carrier, cylinder head, timing drive, and engine block.

The owner manual retains the operational material buyers often need at the vehicle: active head restraints, LATCH child-restraint installation, warning lights, Driver Information Center messages, climate controls, automatic engine start/stop conditions, engine-coolant-heater use below 0°F (-18°C), PASS-Key III+ operation, and Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter battery replacement.

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.

Scope and Repair Cautions

All vehicle-specific headers in this set are for the 2009 model year. The 2MT70 material is explicitly labeled FWD; AWD references appear in the broader VUE/VUE Hybrid/Captiva Sport service chapters and should not be read as 2MT70 AWD hybrid coverage. The two DTC appendices are code-definition lists, not full vehicle-specific diagnostic trees.

The 2MT70 repair pages warn that the torque dampener must remain square during lifting and installation: cocking it can damage the clutch lip seal, while overtightening the lift handles can damage the housing. During PIM repair, residual coolant must be drained before the module is opened or the electronics can be damaged; removing individual high-voltage cables from their mounting block can also compromise cable sealing and shielding.

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.
