I have an embarrassing amount of dollars and hours getting my car back on the road. The short story is that my ignition won't unlock, and I'm trying to add a new cim (and key) with my tech II using globaltis with security access. (downloaded using the links from saabcentral). The car is a 2003 linear 5 speed.
I get all the way through the process: installing, adding keys, picking options the last step I get to is (turning the key on, off, on, off I get the message "add/ remove ecu failed"
If you have any thoughts please let me know. I don't think it's the cim because I've tried adding the old one again, and doing other tech II things and get the same error.
Full disclosure, after the last test ride I went on (after replacing balance shaft tensioner), I pinched the o2 wire in the valve cover, and the car shut off on its own in my garage after a five mile shake down, I fixed that. Since then, the ignition refuses to unlock, I've done all the tricks, I've been living with a bad Cim for a long time before my water pump stopped turning. I don't think those details are pertinent but they are factual. The car has a brand new battery that stays on a charger, and tests 12.5 all day.
