Diagnostic Procedure
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2001 Saab 9-3 and 2000 Saab 9-3. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Turn ignition off. Disconnect ACC control module 39-pin connector. Turn ignition on. Connect a test light between harness side 39-pin connector terminals No. 1 (Black wire) and No. 36 (Yellow/Green wire). See Figure . See WIRING DIAGRAMS . If test light does not illuminate, go to next step. If test light illuminates, repair short to battery voltage in Yellow/Green wire between ACC control module and solar sensor. When repairs are completed, go to step 4 .
- Connect test light between ACC control module 39-pin connector terminals No. 1 (Black wire) and No. 38 (Blue/Red wire on 2000 models; Red/Blue wire on 2001 models). If test light does not illuminate, go to next step. If test light illuminates, repair short to battery voltage in Blue/Red wire between ACC control module and mixed-air temperature sensor. When repairs are completed, go to step 4 .
- Connect test light between ACC control module 39-pin connector terminals No. 1 (Black wire) and No. 39 (Yellow/Brown wire on 2000 models; Brown/Yellow wire on 2001 models). If test light does not illuminate, go to next step. If test light illuminates, repair short to battery voltage in wire (Yellow/Brown on 2000 models; Brown/Yellow on 2001 models) between ACC control module and cabin temperature sensor. When repairs are completed, go to next step.
- Using scan tool, clear all DTCs from all systems. Recheck A/C system operation for original complaint. If A/C system is operating properly and no DTC has been detected, repair is complete. If a DTC has been detected, a control module may need to be replaced. See CONTROL MODULES under COMPONENT TESTS.
