  1. 9-5 Workshop
    I have a persistent P1106 which is driving me up the wall. When I delete the CEL I can drive until the tank is empty but when I shut off the engine and start it again the CEL lights up after a few seconds and won't go off. I can't notice any difference in the behaviour of the engine/performance...
  2. 9-3 Sedan, Cabrio '04+, Combi, 9-3X Workshop
    hey all! I own an 03 9-3 Linear. I’ve had it for a while now and for the last two years or so I have experienced a troublesome code. It’s a p0411 code, meaning secondary air injection is out of spec. I live in New York so we have annual emission inspections, and my car will not pass this year...
  3. 9-5 Workshop
    Just had a CEL come about then immediately disappear. According to another forum it could just be the DIC acting up? The car is a 2006 9-5 Wagon. Anywho it was raining pretty hard for whatever that’s worth. I was sitting at a stop sign and did a power slide, riding out first gear until it...
  4. NG900 & OG9-3 Workshop
    Anyone have experience with P1453 code? I have a 2003 9-3 SE, I just got it back from getting a full head gasket job done and it hadn’t gave any codes until the day after. I believe it has to do with EVAP pressure sensor? Fuel tank pressure sensor? It hasn’t affected anything that I can notice.
  5. 9-5 Workshop
    Hello! Recently had a DIC hard failure at 110,000 miles. I was pulling a trailer up a hill on old plugs... don't do that. Put in a spare DIC and it worked fine, went 500 miles before changing plugs when the new DIC arrived. Within 100 miles of the new DIC ($$OEM$$) and plugs (NGK BCPR6ES) the...
  6. C900 Workshop
    Hi all, Hoping someone might be able to shed some light on an issue IIve got with my 1990 Saab 900 Turbo (LH 2.4 Bosch system). For a few days I heard a faint buzzing sound coming from the engine. It would get marginally louder under acceleration, but other than that the car was running ok...
  7. 9-3 Sedan, Cabrio '04+, Combi, 9-3X Workshop
    Hey Team, I'm experiencing some rough misfiring during acceleration and my CEL is on. I have been scouring the forums for fixes to these various codes, all of which seem plausible but can have widely different fixes. I have been plagued with cylinder gasket leaks and I have changed all of my...
  8. 9-3 Sedan, Cabrio '04+, Combi, 9-3X Workshop
    Once again the saab got its panties up in a bunch. Now looking at 2 codes, the notorious/ most obnoxious infamous P0300 and then theres P0507. Also got a pending code (P0116). Any ideas on how to make the random misfires go away? The car does have a new MAF, new coils and new plugs (plugs were...
  9. 9-5 Workshop
    Hello everyone, longtime lurker and Saab owner here. I've recently been given the chance to purchase an 07 9-5 Aero, but the owner describes the car as "the car jerks when you go to accelerate and the engine light starts blinking". My first instinct would be either the throttle body or the DIC...
  10. 9-5 Workshop
    The CEL comes on periodically, about once or twice per month. The car runs as normally, when I turn the engine office the CEP does not appear. It's not until after I drive for several weeks or So the CEL appears, again the car runs smoothly. So after a stop to get it checked at Auto Zone...
  11. NG900 & OG9-3 Workshop
    Hi. I have three CEL codes P0444, P1312, and P1334 on my car. I have a 2001 9-3 SE. The 1312 and 1334 I have seen as being misfires in cylinders 1+2 and 3+4. I have also been told these two codes can be fixed by getting a new DIC. I have replaced my DIC 4 times with this car and these codes...
  12. 9-5 Workshop
    Occasionally, my check engine light will come on in my 2000 saab 9-5. The codes are for misfire and knock in some or all cylinders. And sometimes, a code for the crankshaft position sensor comes up. I've replaced the sensor and it still gives that code. Even with all of those codes, it runs...
  13. NG900 & OG9-3 Workshop
    Hi, I have a 20019-3 SE. I have had problems with the DIC unit ever since I got my car. Each time the check engine light comes on and I receive codes saying that there are cylinder misfires (codes such as P0304 and P1334). I have replaced the DIC 4 separate times. Each replacement unit has been...
  14. 9-5 Workshop
    Friends, my 2005 Saab Aero wagon has recently (and more frequently) been acting erratic. 1) The red triangle and battery lights go on intermittently, almost always coinciding with acceleration (up, down, sideways). 2) Often, all dash lights will come on. Sometimes this is shortlived, sometimes...
  15. 9-3 Sedan, Cabrio '04+, Combi, 9-3X Workshop
    Hello. Never posted here so if I forget some info forgive me. I have a 2009 9-3 2.0T XWD and I've had p2431 (SAI air flow/pressure sensor/perf bank 1) and P0411 (SAI incorrect flow) codes for a while, I clear them and they come on in a week or so. With my inspection coming up which requires...
  16. 9-3 Sedan, Cabrio '04+, Combi, 9-3X Workshop
    P2229 error code - Barometric PS [SOLVED] This week I picked up a 2006 9-3 Aero SportCombi 6sp stick. I'm in NJ, and its inspection sticker is expired. I have a CEL, with error code P2229. I have done a fair amount of searching Saab forums and the web in general. I was hoping that a quick...
  17. 9-5 Workshop
    About 8 months ago, I was driving on the highway and CEL began flashing. It flashed for about 10 seconds and went away. When I scanned the ecu, no error codes came up. Same thing happened about three months ago and once more this past week. While CEL is flashing, there is nothing wrong with the...
  18. NG900 & OG9-3 Workshop
    I have posted a thread before involving the CEL codes P1312, P1334 and P1110 on a 2001 Saab 9-3 SE 2.0, I have fixed the error code for the P1110 but the P1312 and P1334 still remain, (which I know is cylinder misfires). I have looked and looked and many different people have different...
  19. 9-3 Sedan, Cabrio '04+, Combi, 9-3X Workshop
    Hey everyone I'm a new 9-3 SC owner (me not the Saab) and coming up on my first need for service. I'm thinking about going to a local Saab specialist, but wanted to see if anyone knows if I have to go to a real/ex Saab dealer for that, or can any garage with the right equipment (Tech II?) do...
  20. 9-3 Sedan, Cabrio '04+, Combi, 9-3X Workshop
    Hi everyone! I hope everyone had a great start to 2015! :) My 2006 9-3 Aero recently threw a P0496/P2187 code and figured it was time to change the EVAP purge valve. I live in a place where there aren't many shops that work with European cars (there's one a little drive away, but they charge...
