Diagnostic help

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Saab 9-3 and 2002 Saab 9-3. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The engine stops when the DTC appears. Engine speed is limited to 2200 the next time the engine is started.

A mechanical fault is preventing the throttle from closing. P1251  or P1264  generated and throttle control in limp-home mode. Throttle has been open since then despite the driver releasing the accelerator pedal.

WARNING: The car must not be driven until the fault has been rectified.
