The TCS symbol is showing up on my display, and the car will not start. The saab dealer says it's a broken tcs module under the front right wheel arch. Does anyone have a diagram of this part - I'd like to check for corrosion before I have to get it replaced - very expensive!

Thanks,

Is your car a 1.9 TiD? If so, it could be just a broken wire between the under hood fuse box and the engine ecm. This causes the same problem. Hope this helps.

Yes, it's a 1.9 tid, any way of confirming if/where the broken wire is?

Hi there. If you remove the main relay in the UEC(the big red one) and put a wire between the slot sitting horizontally and the one sitting vertically. Can't mind which they are. Could be no's 30 and 87. If it starts then the wire is the problem. To repair is pretty easy. Its a case of removing the fuse box which is 3 E10 torx bolts then remove the 2 T25 bolts. I would advise disconnecting the battery also as precaution. The wire needs to go from pin 6 of the plug closest to the washer bottle neck(brown/white) right to pin 72 at the ECM which sits behind the front bumper/osf wheel arch liner. I'll double check tomorrow for wire color at the ECM as not 100% sure. Also will need to check which of the two connectors it is.
Hope this helps so far.

Kenny.

Would appreciate that, thanks.

Checked today on TIS2WEB and found out for certain. The terminals to bridge are no's 30 and 87 under the main relay. The connector at the ECM to remove is the bigger of the two and the pin number is 72. The wire colour into the ECM plug is brown/white also. Its the main switching control wire for the ECM which is why its not starting. Hope this helps you fix it mate. Good luck.

Kenny.
