2009 Saturn Vue 2.4L P0010 Fault Code: Diagnosis and Repair Guide
Hello, I own a 2009 Saturn Vue XE with a 2.4L 4-cylinder engine and has reached 115,000 miles. The check engine light came on, and after taking it to AutoZone, I was given the P0010 diagnostic code. No repairs have been done yet, and I'm attempting to fix it myself. Any accurate suggestions or step-by-step guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
The solenoid is located at the top of the engine, centered on the cylinder head, between the cam cover humps on the camshaft drive end. Check the wiring and connector; measure resistance across the solenoid (should be 8–10 ohms). This is the intake cam solenoid — the 'INTAKE' label is etched into the cam cover, so you can easily identify it as either intake or exhaust. The engine warranty covers up to 5 years or 100,000 miles, so consider that when evaluating repair options. Try searching YouTube for 'Chevy 2.4L cam solenoid replacement' — this video guide is helpful and widely viewed. Let me know how it goes.
