Hello, my name is Stephen Jenks i have a saab 2007 9-3
Hello i just signed up for the sight i was reffered to by a friend .I have a 2007 saab 9-3 the car is currently not running .i bought a new key and a reprogrammer computer to install new key.The problem is i cannot get the reprogrammer too connect to the ECU in the car it says the ecu is not connected ? I am almost convinced the problem is in the ISM box that the key goes into. i Have checked around found a couple replacement parts .. But before i go spend 100 plus dollars i could use some help . i am not a asc certified mechanic . Just work on my own projcts .
What kind of key programmer are you using?
Have you tried a basic scan tool to see if it will connect?
Are you getting any messages like “key fob not detected”? (Potentially CIM issue)
Try turning your key and leaving it in the engine on position and then jump the starter relay. What happens when you do this?
I can provide a diagram if needed.
Is yours a 9-3 Aero or a 9-3 2.0T?
