ACM programming/replacement Posted by JustinHiFi [Email] ![]() ![]() |
Have a clients '08 9-3 2.0 vert in the shop this week for some work on airbag system.
Crashed last month currently at $18k in body shop repairs (local body shop). They brought vehicle in to clear DTCs in airbag system and ALF (adaptive forward lighting) system. Should have totaled this thing.
Scanned for DTC info and found the two front seatbelt pretensioners were set off, had not been replaced by shop. (Shop has replaced both rear belts, roll over bars etc etc). Front airbags did not deploy.
Having problems getting new ACM to program to vehicle. ACM pn12841443. There is no SPS procedures, and using Add module command comes back with "Feature not supported with ECU software". Saab support (called through dealer) says new module will self program to vehicle when installed, simple plug in, clear DTCs and play. However new module will not self accept vin programming. Airbag indicator remains on along with "airbag system fault contact service" on SID. When scanned for DTCs, there are none present for ACM, control module pings are answered with no faults, and ACM shows "ok" on bus menu. When going to ECU/ACM info. Correct part number is shown but no VIN is shown within module. Just shows "XXXX".
When I plug old ACM in vehicle, it comes back with all DTCs previously stored (max 20), no VIN shown in ECU info, and will freeze/beep when trying to clear DTCs from module.
Techs, any ideas or did I get a dead beat ACM that will not accept the VIN?
Thanks,
JustinHiFi
