Replacing ECM

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Saab 9-3. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Before "Add" ECM:

During "Add" ECM:

It does not matter if the ECM unit is new (in transport mode) or used (previously "added" or "removed").

When "Add" ECM is carried out using Tech2, the master key code is copied from CIM to ECM.
The keys that worked previously will still be functional.

After "Add" ECM:

Figure 9: The illustration shows the same ECM as in Fig 1 , but with the master key code copied from CIM, illustrated here in green.
