Yea it was that same comment on the module (plug and play) thats got me confused. Unfortunately I cant get my hands on tech2 so had to settle for snap on machine (going through vectra c).  But now im stuck with 2 srs modules that will no longer communicate and the fella sorting it for me thinks im gonna have to go to saab to get a new module coded.... (F#*k that). Im not completely convinced it was the module at fault in the first place but I now need one just to get a diagnostic machine to talk to it. And it turns out my module is rare?! Real hard to get, the one I had lined up is different....so back to square 1. Incase anyone knows of one my module number 12800389.

Do you need to code in a 2nd hand module even if it hasnt been in an accident and its been taken from the same age/model of vehicle? Im attempting to get a 3rd module from the same year, engine, colour, model car to see if that does anything, cause I at least need a computer to talk to it to sort out problem.

Dromore, county down, northern Ireland. I phoned vauxhall garage a few times to get the tech 2 diagnostics but kept getting told theyd phone back. The srs module will not communicate with diagnostics, the module musnt be coded correctly after getting repaired.

I had the passenger seat out and checked the presence sensor first when the light came on as I heard they were troublesome but im afraid the snap on machine has led me in the wrong direction. Never checked the anchor, will check it later.

Oo and it flashed up srs module not programmed (thats what made me send the unit away for repair....ended up gettin another module and getting it coded. Absoultely doing my head in, im a mechanic by trade and pretty switched on with electrics and diagnostics but I am genuinely stuck!? Cant get my hands on tech 2 software, even phoned vauxhall several times...still waiting on a call back. Tech 2 software would be handy because my egt (exhaust temp sensor) light is on and saab were originally updating the ecu to remove the sensor under recall....(good luck with that now).

Hi I have a 2003 1.8t saab 9-3, my airbag light came on when my wife sat on the. Plugged it in with snap on machine and got passenger seatbelt high low resistance, checked live data and It showed passenger front pretensioner 0 as all other pretensioners read 4 (I presume this is ohms). Anyway got a second hand pretensioner..no joy..same thing. Checked continuity between tensioner and module (all good). Read about modules being faulty so got a 2nd hand module (same part number but from a 2.2tdi) sent them both away to get repaired and coded...now neither will show fault codes with snap on machine??? And the f#$kin light is still on?!? Any help guys?? Thanks. Chris
