Saab Park Assistance, (SPA) disabled

Cars affected

Saab 9-3 M03-

Background

The SPA control module freezes due to an internal failure. When the SPA control module freezes it is not possible for the car's other functions to communicate with the SPA control module, which results in the parking assistance not working.

Cutting the voltage (by disconnecting the battery in the car or disconnecting/connecting the SPA control module), resets the fault and the parking assistance works correctly again.

In the case of customer complaint, the following procedure must be carried out.
