    Hi folks, bought my first Saab last year, a 2010 9-3 Ttid4 diesel estate and I'm loving it. My first MOT is coming up and I have the dreaded "stability control failure" message coming up on start up, car drives fine, no noticeable difference. Does anyone know if this is an MOT failure? (it only...

    So I’ve had the driver abs sensor replaced a few months back and a buddy of mine was clearing out some codes and my front passenger I guess went out. So along with abs Sensor code I was also getting stability control failure and traction failure. So it was driving around fine and brought it in...

    So on my drive home one night my car gave me the "Stability Control Failure" warning. The only other warning (or tick) it has ever given me is "Left Turn Light Failure", it would just blink at a different speed than my other turn signal. The next day it started but after my first stop it...

    Hi all. I've been getting an intermittent fault. I think it's related to a sensor but is definitely something in the electronics. Here is what is happening: Insert key and attempt to start car. The lights, radio, gauges all work. But the engine just doesn't turn over. After waiting anywhere...

    Hi Guys Hope your machines are running great!!! I had a 'coolant level low' indicator on for last few months even though I topped off the coolant. Took it to a mechanic and he said I had a leaking water pump. I got him to change it. When I got back into the driver seat, I noticed that my saab...

    The stability control failure notice is constantly on on both the dash board and the display panel. Car drives fine but I'm wondering how I will pass the NCT (MOT)

    Hello All! Long time enthusiast and racer- first Saab owner for 2 years now. I drive an 08 Aero and like others, I have recently had the Stability Control Failure/ Cornering Headlamp Malfunction take place. In addition, the TCS, ABS and E-brake lights illuminate. It seems to happen after roughly...

    Hey guys, I have recently bought Saab 93 2.0 t 2003 year, it had stability control failure light on, I had that car in dealer, they found U2143 fault, steering angle sensor. I did wheel alignment 2 days ago, and boys in garage found front alloy little buckled, I think its alloy was causing SCF...

    50K miles. Recently overheated and had head replaced/repaired under warranty. Upon return car runs great for months. Then the dreaded stability control stabilization light came on. Then car would start but would not idle and eventaully choke off. If I kept at it enough, revving engine and...

    Hey all-- I've done as much research as possible on these issues that I'm having but I'm really tired of spending so much money on non-solutions. So here is the deal: My SID shows Stability Control Failure, Traction Control Failure & ABS Failure every time I start the car. (I just clear it...

    Got a 2004 9-3 last week, the Stability Control Failure light comes on intermittently (other than when I start it), and the Locking System Failure light just started coming on today. Do these tend to be sensor failures, or real problems? Does anybody know of any solutions, or costs for checking...
