1994 Saab 900 SE, 4D Hatchback, AutomaticSECTION Retrieving Trouble Codes
- Connect ISAT Scan Tester to data link connector (under left side of dash, next to steering column). Clear any manual programming from A/C-heater control panel (control module) and then road test vehicle.
- Obtain Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) and write them down on a piece of paper. Perform A/C-heater control panel calibration. See CALIBRATIONΒ .
- Obtain DTCs once again and make a note of any additional DTCs. This procedure should be followed, since DTCs B2403 and B2493 can only be detected in connection with calibration.
- Diagnose and test A/C-heater system using relevant trouble codes. After servicing vehicle, perform A/C-heater control panel calibration. See CALIBRATIONΒ .
