Retrieving Trouble Codes

1995 Saab 900 S, 2D Hatchback, AutomaticSECTION Retrieving Trouble Codes
  1. 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.
  2. Obtain Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) and write them down on a piece of paper. Perform A/C-heater control panel calibration. See CALIBRATION  under FAULT DIAGNOSIS.
  3. Obtain DTCs once again and make a note of any additional DTCs. See DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) IDENTIFICATION  . See TESTING  . This procedure should be followed, since DTCs B2403 and B2493 can only be detected in connection with calibration.
  4. Diagnose and test A/C-heater system using relevant trouble codes. After servicing vehicle, perform A/C-heater control panel calibration. See CALIBRATION  under FAULT DIAGNOSIS.
