Communication with the TSAS hood system



On the Saab 900 Cabriolet, the TSAS control module monitors operation of the hood. Should a fault arise, hood movement is stopped and the TSAS control module sends a pulse to pin 5 of the SID which then displays a fault message. The Saab 900 Cabriolet incorporates the following CHECK messages:
