Calibrating TCS

NOTE: Component identifier numbers used in the following illustrations relate to specific steps in the procedures below.





Adjust kick-down cable first.
1. Connect the Intelligent SAAB Tester (ISAT), or equivalent scan tool.
- Note and erase any diagnostic trouble codes.
2. Run the engine to normal operating temperature.

NOTE: If the engine will not run at idling, use scan tool code 974.

3. Enter ISAT scan tool code 971 for basic setting.





4. Observe the Kickdown Cable Motor (KDW motor) while carrying out basic setting.
- The KDW motor should move.
5. Enter ISAT scan tool code 973 and check that the "TCS CTRL" lamp lights.
- Then start the engine. Do not touch any other controls.





6. Check the "TCS CTRL" lamp.
- When the lamp flashes, press the SET button on the cruise control and hold it down until the lamp goes out.
7. Engine speed should increase to 3000 RPM and then drop back to idling.

NOTE: After calibration, always check if there are any diagnostic trouble codes.

8. Test drive the car. If shifting quality is still not OK, additional adjustment must be carried out, refer to Extra Adjustment.
