Cars affected : Saab 9-3 M06-, or if the CIM has been replaced in older cars
Fault symptoms
The ignition key cannot be turned to the LOCK position and the key cannot be withdrawn from the ignition switch.Cause: If the ignition key has been turned from ON to OFF at a speed above 5 km/h then the key cannot be turned to the LOCK position and so cannot be withdrawn from the ignition switch. The reason for this is that the CIM stops sending out + X-feed to the TCS/ESP which in turn stops sending the speed signal and the latest speed then remains stored. In this situation, key-turning is not permitted.
