Happened here too. 27k miles, '01-V6. Car limped home 9 miles, CEL light flashing. Interestingly, I had suspected for a while that the car needed service because it appeared to idleing more roughly at start up.
They replaced DIC, replaced the spark plugs and "performed SPS programing of Tironic old # 5383906, new # 5388210"
When I picked up the car, they warned me that if in the next 1,000 or so miles the CEL light comes back, they will assume it's the c-converter and replace it. After that, I guess they will not necessarily assume the CC was damaged, and they do whatever diagnostics they do to figure out what's wrong. As for the spark plugs, they claim they just don't take chances and they replace them automatically when they replace a DIC. Seems logical.
Just FYI.. loaner was Jag X-type. FWIW - glad to be back in my Saab!
