Engine Z19 oil level sensor - "Check oil level" message shows up too early

VEHICLES CONCERNED

9-3 MY07 Z19 with C39 from VIN 71100000 ---

Saab 9-5 M06 ---

BACKGROUND

Customer complains that oil level warning shows up in display although the oil level is still between min and max on the dipstick.

CONDITIONS

Software weakness in ECU.

SYMPTOM DESCRIPTION

"Check oil level" message shows up too early.

ACTION

In case of customer complaint advise not to overfill and to keep the oil level between min and max mark on the oil dip stick. A revised software containing modified oil level calibration is in development.

This software will be available in week 51/2008 via TIS2WEB 13.0.

Please do not replace parts (e.g. oil level sensor) since the problem will not be solved without the new software.
