Saab Trouble Code Retrieval Procedure and Definition OBD1
Saab has used the
check
engine light on the instrument cluster to alert the drive the car has encountered
a malfunction of the engine or
emission systems. Once
activated the check engine light will flash a one or two digit code. Like most pre
ODB11 operating systems the first set of blinks will be the first digit of the
trouble code, there will be a brief pause as the
computer gets ready to blink out the second digit of the trouble code. To activate
this code retrieval mode a switched ground wire must be connected to the
computer pin # 16.
This can be done several different ways but the most common method is locating the
diagnostic connector which is near the right side of the engine. Once this is completed
turn the ignition key to the "on" position. The check engine light will flash rapidly
two or three times and then pause. This is now telling you the computer is ready
to produce the stored trouble codes. Turn the grounded lead to the "off" position
(remove the ground from the circuit) this will enable the computer to produce the
first digit of the trouble code, pause and then produce the second digit of the
trouble code. For example, if the check engine light flashes twice and then pause
and blink two more times the code number would be 23. Some codes are single digit
in the case the check engine light will only blink one set. To clear trouble codes
after the repairs have been made remove the
negative battery cable for two minutes
and reconnect or turn the jumper lead to the "on" position, after three short blinks
of the check engine light turn the switch off the light will blink 12444. This means
there are no more codes stored in the computer’s memory and the system is reset.
