I have a '06 9 3 Aero convertible with 115,000...About a month ago the ABS moduel starting acting up and now I can't turn the igition on because of a "steering malfunction" on my display. I bypassed the ABS moduel so I could start the car, but now because of the "steering" problem I can't turn the ignition on. I understand that this is a very common problem on Saabs. I also understand that I can bypass the curcuit that controls the steering malfunction. Worst case senerio, if I have to replace the moduel, will a Chinese Tech 2 help me to program a replacement steering module or ignition switch or new key fob? I really don't want to have to buy used parts. Where could I find new parts if I needed them, thanks!
Thanks for helping us all. I'm learning how to use Tech2. Tried to change the tire size from 15 to 16". 2003 Saab 95 arc V6 Something I did the mileage meter stopped working. Need you help. I will appreciate it. Thanks and regards
Thanks I need to get me a tech 2, my car didn't have fog lights so I installed them with the harness and changed the switch. Now I just need to tech 2 it.
Is there any difference between the 9-3s computer and the 9-5s? I have a 2004 9-5 Arc that needs a radio code, so will the tech 2 fix that or am i out of luck?
I emailed him a couple of years back after I got the car and he said he’d be interested next time he was in Arizona. Unfortunately the car is now pretty modified, and he doesn’t review modified cars 😅
Agree. A video on setting up TechII security programs is definitely going to get a whole lot of interest. I've got the same Chinese clone and a good old Windows 7 laptop but have not gotten security access yet.
Very cool. That'll help others become more comfortable in Tech2. Love my Chinese version so far! Very nice to be able to kill DRL's, run tests on various components and change personalization settings. Another nice revelation: The OG9-3 does not need the candi module and does not need TIS approval. Totally plug and play with no GM interference.
How do you look into a potentially faulty ECU giving throttle body codes? I have put in several new throttle bodies and keep having the engine go into limp mode.
You mentioned an airbag light. I have that light on and if I put my seats all the way up it goes away. After inspecting, I found that the connector to the passenger seat fell off and looked damaged. 2 questions, is this safe to drive? and is there anyway to fix this? I have an error code on my Tech2 saying "airbag deployed signal circuit, short to ground"
It’s probably fine to drive, but I’d recommend getting that connector replaced. You can probably make your own without much trouble to get it to work and the light to go off
I have a question. Would a tech 2 tell you if you had a short in a line or somewhere between the fuse and the fuel pump relay? My 95 is down and I cannot figure out what is going on. The fuel pump isn’t getting power.
Okay. Figured it out. K eep I t S imple S tupid I was totally overthought this. If I had checked the main relay next to the firewall, I would’ve been done. I finally did get that fixed. Back out on the streets again. Was able to get her to Chicago Saab meet today. Good day.
If you’re replacing a cim you need a matching key to go with it. This video will help you out: th-cam.com/video/b8NcwksVUcI/w-d-xo.htmlsi=gC7_R7ec9SKu4giE
Karl Kutscera yes I could I’m on the Facebook groups for Saab of America you can find me in the members tab DM I will send you the link it’s a google drive folder with global tis and tis2k (Omar Gonzalez )
I bought the Tech 2 you recommended and I'm trying to read the code on my 9-3. Everything is hooked up and there is a green light on the CANDI module and it says there is no CANDI detected.
@@AutoAutopsy Not that you asked for an update lol, but the Tech 2 never worked from the start and got worse and worse, now won't turn on. Battling with seller on eBay to send new one *sigh*. Maybe one day I'll get the TX fixed up.
If you were to ever change you me intro to the videos. I think it would be a good idea to throw back to the og intro where you unlock the TBX put the garage for up and do a cold start but with your current exhaust set up 👍🏽👍🏽

I’d join the Tech2 Facebook group and ask there. I’m not an expert with this device yet unfortunately

You should do a collab with Doug Demuro on a review of your Turbo x
I emailed him a couple of years back after I got the car and he said he’d be interested next time he was in Arizona. Unfortunately the car is now pretty modified, and he doesn’t review modified cars 😅
Maybe @Larry Pagano’s TX is unmodded enough for Doug to review.
@1badturbo_x on IG
Do I need the scanner to program my Bluetooth cuz I have a Bluetooth hooked into my saab 9.3 aero but I think I need the tech 2 scanner
Wouldn't the tech 2 allow you to adjust your light functionality when you swap LED's into your vehicle?
If you ever set up TIS please make a video I just got my clone tech2 but I’m to lazy to set up the software and reading forums
Agree. A video on setting up TechII security programs is definitely going to get a whole lot of interest. I've got the same Chinese clone and a good old Windows 7 laptop but have not gotten security access yet.
Glen Wahl Windows 7 doesnt work
lol okay!

lol yeah, ng 9-3 requires the extra step unfortunately
How do you know if your 9-3 is OG/NG? I have a 2005 9-3 convertible. Looking to buy a scanner, can you guys point me in the right direction?
@@Menelyagor12 OG hard tops ended in 02. OG convertibles ended in 03. Big body style change at that point.
@@MassiveTrackHunter Great, thank you sir.
@@Menelyagor12 Quite welcome.
For getting security access, you should be able to run a pirated version of XP on a virtual machine, that should work just fine for ya
thanks
How do you look into a potentially faulty ECU giving throttle body codes? I have put in several new throttle bodies and keep having the engine go into limp mode.
What codes? NG 9-3?
P0638 is the code I keep getting.
Also, my Chinese Tech2 says my Candi module isn’t connected but everything seems fine to me 🤔

@@AutoAutopsy I am not that handy but maybe I can find something online. Let me know if you have any leads! Thanks!
Is it possible to marry new abs/esp unit with ECU by stock(AliExpress) tech2, or I would need a laptop for it as well
If you need security access, you’ll need a laptop
I have a question. Would a tech 2 tell you if you had a short in a line or somewhere between the fuse and the fuel pump relay? My 95 is down and I cannot figure out what is going on. The fuel pump isn’t getting power.
it might, i'm honestly not sure...sorry that's not a great answer.

I have the clone Tech2 now, but I am having a hard time getting the crack for the TIS2000. Please let us know if you can get a crack for TIS2000.
just use globaltis
^
A solid laptop is the dell d630 I have the cracked files for tis2k on a flashdrive if you ever need them
would you be able to supply me with the cracked files for the TIS2000 security dongle?
thanks Omar! i'll have to get that laptop first
Karl Kutscera yes I could I’m on the Facebook groups for Saab of America you can find me in the members tab DM I will send you the link it’s a google drive folder with global tis and tis2k (Omar Gonzalez )
Hello Sir,
Do you know if this Tech2 with Globaltis will work for 2010 9-3 when I need to program new key fob?
Yes
@@AutoAutopsy Thanks.
I bought the Tech 2 you recommended and I'm trying to read the code on my 9-3. Everything is hooked up and there is a green light on the CANDI module and it says there is no CANDI detected.
it might be best to contact the seller. that's weird
I just got mine delivered today.. I’m terrified to see how many codes my TX has lol
😬 start by clearing whatever is there and see what comes back

good idea. although i got some complaints that that intro was too long
Auto Autopsy oh that’s a shame. It was a good sound tho
The NG9-3 generates a lot of codes. I replaced my interior lights with LED and I always get fault codes on these everytime I do a full scan :-/
maptun has a fix for that
@@anthonyferra7907 Disabling the monitoring of the interior lights?
@@TechCars there is a software flash they offer that allows the use of led lights without errors
As Anthony said, maptun can program them properly
The eSID2 is just fine in reading and clearing codes. Don't need the tech2 for that.
that's exactly what i said..the point was to show how to do it with a tech2
