| P bus and I bus |
All the control modules in the Saab 9-5 are connected to the bus except for ABS (TC/ABS) and SRS.
The bus is divided into the Powertrain bus (P bus) and the Instrument bus (I bus). Both buses are connected to the main instrument unit (MIU). The buses are electrically isolated from each other.
Data transfer is 10 times faster on the P bus than on the I bus.
All the information transmitted by one of the control modules is available to all the other control modules connected to the bus. MIU is responsible for making the information that is available on one bus also available on the other bus.
The control modules transmit information on the bus at regular intervals. The time between two transmissions depends on the information being sent and varies between 10 milliseconds (0.010 seconds) and one second. Information is also transmitted by the control modules each time the information changes.
Information between the control modules is transferred through two leads, BUS + (green lead) and BUS- (white lead). The two leads are twisted to reduce sensitivity to electrical interference.
| Diagnostics |
In a bus system, it is necessary for all the units to be able to communicate with each other. For example, the engine cannot be started unless Trionic T7 can receive immobilizer information transmitted by TWICE.
Permanent bus faults
All communications between the diagnostic tool and systems on the bus take place via DICE. Irrespective of which system is being contacted, the diagnostic tool, with the help of DICE, will make sure that all the systems on the bus are active and communicating. The diagnostic tool will indicate any control modules missing from the bus. This means that all the control modules are communicating correctly on the bus unless the diagnostic tool warns otherwise.Intermittent bus faults
Trionic continuously checks to see that TCM and MIU are communicating correctly. Diagnostic trouble codes will be generated if an intermittent fault should occur in the bus communication. The cause of the fault could be that the power supply or one of the bus leads to a control module is missing| Missing control module | Diagnostic trouble code |

MIU
|
MIU sends speed, unit km/h. The value is used by cruise control and as a substitute value if the speed signal from ABS disappears.
|
|
Reverse gear selected
|
ON/OFF
|
DICE
|
DICE sends reverse gear engaged, unit ON/OFF. The value is used to determine if first gear or reverse gear is engaged as the gear ratio is not enough to distinguish between them.
|
|
A/C request
|
ON/OFF
|
DICE
|
DICE sends A/C request, unit ON/OFF. The value is used in the air mass control, compensation, to compensate for the increase in load. The control module also activates the A/C relay.
|
|
A/C pressure, high-pressure side
|
bar
|
DICE
|
DICE sends pressure, unit bar. The value is used in the air mass control, compensation, to calculate the increase in load before the A/C compressor is activated.
|
|
Current consumption
|
A
|
DICE
|
DICE sends the calculated current consumption of the electrically heated rear window and radiator fans just before they are activated, unit A. The value is used in the air mass control, compensation, to compensate for the increase in load.
|
|
Brake lights
|
ON/OFF
|
TWICE
|
TWICE sends brake lights, unit ON/OFF. The value is used in the air mass control for engine torque limitation.
|
|
Fuel level
|
Litres
|
MIU
|
MIU sends fuel level, unit Litres. The value is used in the on-board diagnostics to generate special diagnostic trouble codes during misfiring in conjunction with low fuel levels and for adaptation of the tank pressure sensor value.
|
|
CHECK ENGINE Request
|
ON/OFF
|
TCM
|
TCM sends request, unit ON/OFF. The value is used in the on-board diagnostics to turn on the CHECK ENGINE lamp when ON is sent. Diagnostic trouble code P1624 is generated to indicate a fault in TCM.
|
|
Immobilizer
|
ON/OFF
|
TWICE
|
TWICE sends immobilizer, unit ON/OFF. The value is used in the fuel injection to activate fuel shut-off.
|
|

|
ON/OFF
|
DICE
|
DICE sends +50, unit ON/OFF. The value is used for diagnosis of the crankshaft position sensor.
|
|
