Wrong soot level (diesel) |
VEHICLES CONCERNED |
Saab 9-3 1.9 Diesel MY05 -
Saab 9-5 1.9 Diesel MY06-
BACKGROUND |
During certain conditions the calculated soot level in the EDC 16 can be reset to a default value of 105 % full particle trap. This can later on cause problems with the automatic regeneration process for the driver.
CONDITIONS |
This can happen if the battery voltage drops below 5 Volts.
SYMPTOM DESCRIPTION |
The customer can get the following message in the information display "Particle trap full, see owners manual" (MY 07 ) or MIL and fault code for particle trap full on MY 05-06. The trap is not really full but the EDC 16 calculation thinks so.
ACTION |
When changing or charging an empty battery, please check the stored soot value in the Engine Management System. If the value is 105 % then please make a manual regeneration before delivering the car.
If the battery proves to be OK, the original value is stored and all is OK.
