2009 Saab 9-7X 5.3iSECTION Circuit/System Testing
  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X3 harness connector at the appropriate door module.
  2. Ignition ON, verify a test lamp does not illuminate between the following control circuit terminals and ground:
    • Control circuit terminal B4
    • Control circuit terminal B2
    • Control circuit terminal B6
    • If the test lamp illuminates, test the appropriate control circuit for a short to voltage.
  3. Ignition OFF, test for infinite resistance between the following control circuits and ground:
    • Control circuit terminal B4
    • Control circuit terminal B2
    • Control circuit terminal B6
    • If less the specified value, test the appropriate control circuit for a short to ground.
  4. Test for 40-100 ohms between the control circuit terminal B4 and the control circuit terminal B6.
    • If not within the specified range, test both control circuits for an open/high resistance. If the circuits test normal, test or replace the rearview mirror motor.
  5. Test for 40-100 ohms between the control circuit terminal B2 and the control circuit terminal B6.
    • If not within the specified range, test both control circuits for an open/high resistance. If the circuits test normal, test or replace the rearview mirror motor.
  6. If all circuits test normal, replace the door module.

  • β€’ You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
  • β€’ Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
  • β€’ The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
  • β€’ You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
  • β€’ You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
