SID message ‘‘TIME FOR SERVICE”


Cars affected

All Saab 9-5

Background

The new software in the SID requires a different procedure to cancel the “TIME FOR SERVICE” message with the CLEAR button on the SID.

Note that the normal procedure using Tech 2 still applies.

Procedure

To reset the “TIME FOR SERVICE” message on the SID (without using Tech 2), the following procedure must be followed:


1. Press the CLEAR button once.

2. Press the CLEAR button a second time and hold it pressed in for at least 8 seconds.

The SID will give two acoustic signals one shortly after the other. On the second signal the message “SERVICE” will start to flash.

3. Start the engine to make sure that the message has been cancelled.
