TCS probs for me too Posted by Andrew [Email] ![]() ![]() In Reply to: Re: Thanks for the help from all! I know this won't be, Adrian, Mon, 29 Mar 2004 10:57:20 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
I just got the TCS fault light and the limp home mode at, of all places, the Grand Canyon. Sort of ruined an otherwise awesome time.
I ended up driving all the way from Flagstaff to San Diego in limp home mode as it was a Saturday. Went to the dealer here after the only independent Saab place told me that they didn't have the software for TCS problems. The dealer just handed me an estimate of $1300 to replace the throttle body and the safety and check valves. "We know those are bad, we'll just have to see after that if there are still other problems..."
I'm having trouble accepting that three things went out at the same time. I simply can't foot that bill, so I got the car back. I'll pull the throttle body and try to clean it. I'm not sure what to do with the valves other than a resistance check. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
