I asked (former Saab tech trainer) John Moss about doing this (rotating in a new DIC and keeping the working old one as a spare). He discouraged this approach as taking a working DIC off a car and letting it sit a few years could result in it being dead just when you need it.
OTOH, the aftermarket units do not throw a code when they are on the way out, so you don't know it's going until the smoke gets out - which could also destroy the connector.
Just so you know...
