Classic Saab 9-5 (MY 1998-2010) / Re: Rear Parking Assist Sensors
« on: 29 June 2011, 10:31:20 AM »
I'm not aware of any compatibility between aftermarket kits and the OEM one, so I think yes, you'd have to replace the entire thing. Interesting idea about aftermarket- they are very cheap, around £25 or so IIRC for the complete kit. I would think it might be a little tricky to get the sensors to fit in the holes but for the price it's worth a go.

One more thing, before they condemn the sensors, have they taken them apart and cleaned them- sometimes this works.

There are lots of other things too such as:

- changin the wheel/tyre size for speedo accuracy
- how far the boost gauge moves

I'll see if I can dig them out

I think that is about right for individual sensors, yes. When I found myself in a similar position a couple of years ago, it was more cost effective to buy the entire kit (you sometimes see them on http://www.carpartsconnexion.com/ for not very much at all) and keep a couple spare for the next time.

Saab 9000 (1984-1998) / ECU flash codes
« on: 29 June 2011, 09:14:17 AM »
If the engine management ECU detects a fault, in addition to storing the code for interrogative diagnosis, it will also flash the Check Engine light  a number of times to indicate the broad nature of the fault.

Turn the ignition on, wait for the Check Engine light to go out, and then count the number of subsequent flashes. If there is more than one code, there will be a pause of 2 seconds between flash sequences

Trionic:

2 Flashes - MAP sensor
3 flashes - Intake air temperature sensor
4 flashes - Coolant temperature sensor
5 flashes - Throttle position sensor
6 flashes - Oxygen sensor (lambda probe)
7 flashes - Fuel / air mixture
8 flashes - EVAP valve
9 flashes - faulty ecu

LH/DI

2 flashes - ROM check (check sum check)
3 flashes - Watchdog (control module fault). This fault can also be caused by a defective spark plug or defective ignition discharge module.
4 flashes - Knock sensor (no signal or signal incorrect)
5 flashes - Engine load signal from LH or pressure from the manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor incorrect.

Classic Saab 9-5 (MY 1998-2010) / Re: Mileage magic
« on: 29 June 2011, 09:07:02 AM »
Mine did that some time ago but alas although I though of it beforehand when it happened I wasn't in a position to grab a shot. :(

What's the next "magic" number?

It looks like the same connector I had to the screen on a very old Pioneer satnav system.

Nice to see you here, Tom :)

Or maybe more practically (and hopefully in a few years) an NG9-5 Aero wagon

Sticky idle control valve is a possibility, but it is also a symptom of a failing AMM. Is yours Lucas?
