False detection of DTC P0606 00
|
Saab 9-3 (9440) Trionic 8.
False detection of DTC P0606 00 - Control Module. Internal Fault may
occur due to a software problem.
Since the root cause is in the T-8-software, it will not help to change
the T-8-hardware.
There are about 10 different conditions in the ECM (hardware or software
faults) that can set DTC P0606 00. To check if DTC P0606 00 was set by a false
detection please follow the instructions below:
|
1.
|
Erase DTC's with Tech2.
|
|
2.
|
Test drive the car for two driving cycles, in city driving conditions,
of about 5 minutes each.
Make sure the ignition key is switched off for more than 5 seconds between
the two driving cycles.
|
|
3.
|
Read DTC's with Tech2 after the second driving cycle.
|
|
|
•
|
If the DTC hasn't come back, DTC P0606 00 was detected for a false
reason.
|
|
|
•
|
If the DTC has come back, there is a real fault in the ECU.
|
This information is issued to avoid changing the T8 ECM that will not
help to cure these conditions.
New updated T8 Software will be released at the beginning of 2004.
