Programming and Relearning

2005 Saab 9-3 Linear (9440) L4-2.0L Turbo (2.0t)SECTION Programming and Relearning



Measures After Changing The Control Module

SPS programming

Connect Tech 2 and use TIS 2000 to check whether the control module needs to be programmed. Access the menu "SPS", select "Read control module data" and follow the instructions. The intention is that the control module shall be loaded with the latest available software and in addition adapted to the car model and market.

After SPS programming: Check that the clock is set correctly and that pinch protection is working. If necessary, set the date and time and carry out Calibration of pinch protection.

Add

When the control module is fitted and in some cases SPS programmed, Tech 2 must be used to "marry" the control module to the car. Access the menu "All" and select control module under "Add/Remove". Then select "Add" and follow the instructions. The ignition key must be in the ON position. TIS 2000 may need to be used.

This happens with regard to data:

Characteristics files are downloaded, security codes are loaded, bus lists are updated, data in other control modules is updated and trouble codes are deleted from all control modules.
