The 1999 9-5 computer doesn't support that IDM SW Posted by SWEDECAR [Email] (#112) [Profile/Gallery] (more from SWEDECAR) on Mon, 27 Mar 2006 14:01:27 In Reply to: oops...forgot my name: software update needed?, jarrald, Mon, 27 Mar 2006 13:07:59 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
That might be a reason why the 99 4 cyl is not included in the recall.
It wasn't until 2000 that the IDM software could be downloaded in to the Trionic fuel computer.
It is however another SW available for the 99 that help the Trionic computer cope with an aging throttle body when the electronic throttle start to wear. That SW should be loaded first before the throttle body is replaced just to see if it takes care of the problem (if your car would to experiance any of those problems and fault codes).
Dealers don't upgrade the SW on a regular basis. Only after a customer complains about a certain problem and that the problem is found under the description of what that SW will cure.
