SID messages

If the STC control module detects a malfunction in the system while the soft top is being operated, it will immediately halt the sequence and send a request on the bus for text and acoustic messages. SID displays the text message at the same time as it sounds an acoustic signal.

The following CHECK messages are available for the Saab 9-3 Convertible:
