Engine runs on 3 cylinders/misfiring |
Cars affected |
Saab 9-5 M06-07.5 with engine variant Z19
Saab 9-3 M05-07 with engine variant Z19
Background |
On account of vibrations on the wiring harness connector the surface between the connector pins and sleeves on the injectors can corrode; this in turn can result in poor contact. As a consequence one or more injectors do not supply the cylinders with fuel. More often than not it is the injector on cylinder three that suffers from poor contact. On some vehicles the wiring harness may also be damaged.
In the event of customer complaints the following procedure must be undertaken.
Symptom description
The engine runs on three cylinders or misfiresCheck engine lamp lights.
9-3: diagnostic trouble code P0201, P0202, P0203 or P0204 detected.
9-5: diagnostic trouble code P0261, P0262, P0263 or P0264 detected.
Note | ||
A certain degree of misfiring can occur without generating a diagnostic trouble code. |

Procedure |
Note | ||
The method concerns the replacement of the wiring harness with connector housing. The method below applies to the injector to cylinder 3 as an example. The method is also suitable for other injectors. |
Fault diagnosis
Establish which injector is not working by dismantling and reassembling the connectors on the injectors one at a time while the engine is idling. If the running of the engine is not affected when the connector is dismantled, rectify the cylinder in question by replacing the injector's wiring harness and connector as described in the method below.1. |
Remove the upper engine cover.
|
2. |
Remove the connectors on all injectors, by first opening the secondary retainer (A), then press down the catch (B) and pull the connector from the injector.
|
3. |
Clean the injector's connector. Use Contact Protect CRC or Contact 61 or similar.
|
4. |
Remove the cable channel:
|
• |
Release the vacuum hose (A) from the channel.
|
• |
Remove the 2 screws (B).
|
• |
Open and divide the channel at the clip (C).
|
6. |
Replace the connector:
|
• |
Connect the 2 supplied 2.5 mm cables to the new connector, ensure the terminals lock.
|
• |
Cut the cable to pos. 2. The splice must be positioned in the channel after the splice on the cable 1, closer to the branch to the injector 2. Put the old connector to one side. Thread heat-shrinkable tubing (B) onto the new wiring harness and assemble the new cable from pos. 2 with the existing wiring harness using a splice.
|
• |
Position the heat-shrinkable tubing over the splices and heat to fit.
|
9. |
Fit the connectors (D) on the injectors and lock the secondary retainers (E).
|
10. |
Secure 2 cable ties (A) to hold together the cables for cyl. 1-2 & 3-4.
|
11. |
Fit the engine cover.
|
12. |
Erase the diagnostic trouble codes
