Diagnostic tool

The software has been split into two versions. For the Saab 900 and 9000 (version 44.000 and later), a 10MB memory card is used. For the 9-5, 9-3, 9-3 Sport Sedan and SPS (Version 102.000), a 32MB card is needed. This division gives a more reliable function of the system in older cars and less validation work for new releases. Both cards can be inserted in the diagnostic tool. You can switch between the cards by starting the diagnostic tool, waiting for the introduction screen and then pressing:

• Shift
• Left or right arrow
• Shift

  For the 9-3 Sport Sedan (9440), the P and I-buses are connected directly to the datalink connector, which means an adapter (CANdi) must be fitted to the diagnostic tool. The increased complexity of the car has put higher demands on the diagnostic tool, which has therefore been adapted more directly to different user situations that can arise. When Tech2 is used on other car models than the 9-3 Sport Sedan then the CANdi box must not be used.
