Control Module: Notes
The main instrument unit consists of three main components, each of which is replaceable:
Instrument unit
Control module (electronic unit MIU)
Odometer display
The control module is integrated into the main instrument unit and has two connectors, one 12 -pin (K12) and one 20 -pin (K20).
The control module receives information from its own sensors and switches as well as from other systems. It processes the information and uses it to control instruments and lamps. Certain information is put on the bus.
When a fault occurs, the control module stores the diagnostic trouble code. In case of replacement, a control module for that specific car must be ordered and its programming will then be carried out at Saab Automobile. The odometer reading stored in the old control module and shown on the display must be programmed into the new control module.
The instrument unit contains gauges and meters controlled by its own control module on the basis of information received from other systems as well as its own sensors. Warning and indicator lamps which are controlled by their own sensors/switches as well as control modules from other systems. All the warning lamps, indicator lamps and light bulbs (not LEDs) are replaceable.
The odometer and tripmeter display is one unit with two number registers, one six -digit for the mileometer and a four digit for the tripmeter.
The control module stores the distance driven and displays it. There is a lamp in the display which is replaceable.
