The same as ECU, PCM, DME. Posted by SWEDECAR [Email] (#112) [Profile/Gallery] (more from SWEDECAR) on Sun, 2 Oct 2005 20:22:57 In Reply to: What is an ECM, SAAB=comfort, Sun, 2 Oct 2005 18:36:39 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
It is the powertrain control module, Fuel injection computer, electronic control unit.
It pretty much makes the whole engine do its electronic work and is also in close contact with the ABS and Traction control computer plus all the other computers in your car over a network system.
If one of the computers develop a problem it might stop sending a certain signal over the network system and make another computer conk out.
As for the price you mention it more sounds like the ABS computer being bad and as it is on these Saabs, the whole ABS computer and hydraulic pump has to be replaced as a whole when done at a dealer.
And if it is the ABS computer it is another way to go and get it done for less money but you need to find a shop that knows about the other method and is willing to do it for you.
You can search for posts by 8AA2YM and read up on how he did the repair on that ABS unit.
