If you put the top down and stick your arm over the door an alarm goes off, there's a proximity sensor down by the key in the middle console between the seats that uses some kind of ultrasonic device (basically its one of those "backup sensors" that beeps when it detects something close using sonar), so even if the car is locked and the top is down anyone messing with your car will set off the alarm.
I'm anxiously waiting part 4 of the Rouge trans swap. Beer is getting flat, popcorn growing stale. 🙄 Edit... Got fresh beer and now snacking on cup noodles, while binge watching PHD and SMA. Life is good! 🇺🇸😁
E Euro parts sells the lithium batteries for the alarm box. It is on the drivers side fender well. The box has to be cut open with a Dremel. The batteries are soldered in the box. I did this repair on my 02 Saab 9-3 conv.
given the age of the vehicle and location of the module I would want to see if it's gotten dirty or wet I strongly suspect a connection issue great video
Way too late I know but Saab's were my thang for a long time. TWICE = Theft Warning Integrated Central Electronics. If the alarm is randomly going off its the back-up batteries on the alarm module. The rechargeable batteries for the siren loose capacity over the years hence the "service theft alarm" message on the dash. You need to remove the theft alarm unit from underneath the seat and unsolder the old batteries and replace with new batteries of the same or higher capacity.
Oh, also... I actually bought a knockoff Tech II (a GM scan tool), you have to sync the Tech II WITH the appropriate Saab software downloaded onto the 32mb chip that gets inserted into the tech 2, then load software you need to pay membership from GM for on a computer that HAS to have a 32bit operating system, basically an ancient windows XP machine WITH an old serial port (forgot the exact type), I happened to run a virtual windows xp machine and get a usb to serial connector that simulates the proper serial port... then the software talks to the tech 2 and okays that particular Saab to be reprogrammed. I want to say things like ABS modifications, adding and removing keys, the theft alarm, on 2001 and up Saabs mess with the onstar options (which can be problematic in the convertibles, water seeps down the onstar antenna into the module and sets the alarm off just like the anti theft device did on this one). There's a TON of things you can read with the tech 2 however, every sensor, actuating pretty much all solenoids for testing, a few self tests as well. Basically in a world where Saab is dead it was necessary for the longevity of my Saabs for me to own a Tech 2, but it's a very convoluted system. It is NOT friendly for novices at all, it requires a lot of computer skill as well as mechanical knowledge of the cars... for me it's worth it though, I'm quite fond of the Saabs and this is the kind of stuff I do for fun anyways.
Man o man, I got a 2003 Saab 9-3 and my son lost the only key. A few places can reprogram new keys but it's crazy expensive because the CIM module has to be shipped to them. I decided to buy a Tech2 and some other programs to do it myself. It arrived yesterday. Wish me luck!
Thanks, I actually got another CIM module from the wrecking yard along with the key that was mated to it. I believe I just have to sync the CIM/key pair from the salvaged car with my ECM. I got the Tech2 with the Saab pack along with the other components and a laptop (running XP and that has a serial port, haha) to run TIS2000. Hopefully it'll go relatively smoothly. I just don't know what to do with the hardware after I'm done.
Or you could use a flat head screwdriver to jam in the ignition hole, bang it real hard (with a rubber mallet, of course) and then turn it counterclockwise 3 times until you hear a "click" and VOILA.... there you go. easy breezy.
I was driving a messed up Saab once and the message kept saying "bring vehicle to Dealership" I was all "All the dealerships closed!!!" :D What does one do then?
Just wanted to say a huge thanks to you guys, all the way from Australia, for a great instructional video on this topic! It helped me so much. Keep it up 🙏🙌
What scanner is that? Also, I "fixed" my alarm issue by removing the alarm module. I would like to get that programmer and disable the "service theft alarm" message. My doors still lock and unlock electronically ( I do not have a remote, but if I put my key in and turn it left twice, it will unlock both doors, and if i turn it right once, it locks both doors).
classic when i saw your bike rack , i have same car and rack on back ,but for some reason most sold in Australia had tow balls,as we use trailers a lot to take rubbish to the tip i guess? funny.the 900 97 has t5 electronics and electric motors and sensors for the roof which also stuff up and same story costs more in labour than parts to solve the issue, so i manually do my roof as well.the engines and build quality are really good or id get rid of this car great reliable transport that handles well too
Love the 93, real shame Saab have gone :( Want a 93 Viggen, but the prices are going up, thought that once they had gone the prices would have dropped through the floor.
My 1977 Volvo 245 had driver and passenger seat sensors which made the seat belt warning flash annoyingly if you didn't put them on. Of course, the passenger sensor didn't work so you had to have the belt plugged in even if nobody was sitting there or you're driving along with it flashing and ticking/beeping at you continuously. It was fuel injected and had some kind of ECU but who knows what was used to interface with that, lol.
About 20 years ago I owned a 89 900 and at the same time had a front wheel drive 1990 Subaru Legacy and a Volvo 240; Decided to keep the Volvo and the Subaru and sold the Saab. Should have sold the Volvo and kept the 900; The ride was so good in it. Almost as good as the Subaru.
Yeah dude it's the alarm siren in the inner fender well, you can disassemble it yourself and replace the 2 lithium batteries inside (much cheaper than buying anew one), or buy the new one which is just a refurbished unit for something like $380 now. The batteries are about $20 but require a little bit of soldering skill and to hack apart your old one, you have to make sure you seal it up nicely again since it's an air tight unit, without some form a gasket on it it'll corrode the inside of your unit and you'll need to spend the $380 for a new one anyways. OR you could just unplug it and not have an alarm that works too... the alarm is useless tbh, these cars are so ridiculous, no one is going to hotwire this thing (the key has an immobilizer chip inside, it's pretty impossible to bypass unless you know EXACTLY what you're doing, and who's stealing a car worth 1 grand?).
At 9:26 Outdoor Temperature, Filtered 146.30F - TWICE live data. I Bet it was not that hot evening? Was it more common to have the alarm go off in hot weather?
If the convertible top hydraulic leak is a cylinder..I wonder if you could add that seal leak stuff.. I remember the first time I got in a Saab was like 18 yrs ago..took a few minutes to find where the key goes :-) lol
So if the siren wires, siren or connections at the siren or module are bad (similar to someone cutting the wires to the siren) the siren will go off powered by it's own battery. Wonder what the module & connection looks like under the seat especially being a convertible and letting moisture in occasionally?
so my back window seems stuck down and wont budge at all and no noise from my pump when i hold the switch down for the soft top. i get error message soft top failure but even then ive checked all the relays and everything seems solid. is there a way to manually release the back window from begin stuck?
When you take the key out press the night panel until the sid display says " door alarm only" this will fix the issue only thing is you have to do it every time you take the key out
HI Ivan this was a great clip on your friends Saab and many possibilities that can go wrong if one is not sure what there doing ,so a least the car didn't end up dead in the water , I love he scenery beautiful place , one comment I like to make for those who said a joke regarding skin maybe they are under age and yes they should turn it off and stick to there virtual reality , what I heard you say Ivan,,,,,,,,, this is a great friend of mine ,,,,,,, ( not my great lover friend) anyhow I'm sure they were joking anyhow keep them coming Ivan hmmmmm transmission? yes on to the next show Sal
The most probable cause for the alarm behavior are the drained batteries in the siren unit. It will cause the alarm to go off during to night or randomly. Here's a swede, mr Trionic Seven, who in part 1 tell about the symptoms and workaround and in part 2 refurbishes the siren module with a set of new lithium batteries, capacitors and solder joints. The module under the seat might be faulty too, but empty lithium batteries in the siren module will also cause random alarm and the service the alarm message at the info screen. Just in case your friend want to use less than $50 and has basic soldering skills, this could be an low cost fix for this issue. Part 1 ruclips.net/video/TLYQ8VvEZlg/видео.html Part 2 ruclips.net/video/ibEWHXE3fSI/видео.html
That is a very helpful suggestion, thank you! I will let my friend know about this, if he wants to repair it then we will make another video...maybe with shirts on haha
1:04 If car alarm horn has its own batterys then takeing car battery cable off the car shouldnt stop the warning horn. I mean thats why there is extra batterys in firsth place. So i think the Batterys in the alarm horn(not on car normal horn) are just old and cant keep charge anymore. And thats why there are (ones in blue moon) "service theft alarm" message so you would change the battery.
they are known for batteries to go dead, capacitors also and you get random issues :) left front fender well, unplug and move on :)) forgot to say disable "service theft alarm message"
Actually the horns keep working for a few minutes and then die out after main batt is disconnected. So yes, those backup units could indeed be getting weak!
I am surprised you didn't just unplug the alarm module and then replug it and/or try using contact cleaner on the various connectors . Older cars often suffer from oxidized connections that can be solved with these techniques. Electrical issues are most likely due to bad or intermittent connections or wire that's gone bad. Cars are way too complicated now. It's time to make thing simpler! My 2 cents.
I knew it had to be Pennsylvania! What a beautiful property! I fucking miss that place! My 9-3 alarm will not set (completely randomly) I think it has to do with a low battery condition
Very well! No mechanical issues, no crashes, almost no cramps, and an intense sprint finish :) Results: georesults.racemine.com/Mid-Atlantic-Timing/events/2017/rothrock-trailmix/results
E-bay for about 150 bucks you can have a full power top just get a used pump and rams make sure they do not leak. and the twice system go's bad a lot on the 9-3 another e-bay part and all systems should be back up and running.
The newer Saabs Were actually pretty good Cars,Too Bad They Stopped Making Them,Ive worked on many of them,The older ones leaked Oil Like crazy.But I Like The Saab Styling. Or mabey they just dont sell them in the USA anymore,Dont Remember. PS Ivan Put a Rack In Your Garage,If You Can,LOL
I thought about looking at the module, but my friend had to drive it 3 hours back home so didn't want to risk making the problem worse and disabling the car completely ha
i got a saab 9 3 everything is working but the car wont run i got spark i got fuel pressure fuel pump is ok i got fuel injector pulse electricity ok spark is good crank is ok but the car wont run any suggestion this one is tuff
thanks im glad the you reply i love your auto skills but i fix the problem im learning from you n u can learn from me the problem was the the fuel pump sitting mark with the gas tank mark i put the mark correct the first time but the car wnt run but the next day i knowdest that the fuel gauge was not working after i put 3 gallons of gas so i said to my self this is crazy i put every thing right but is not working so i went back n said to my self i got to fix the gas gauge so i moved the fuel pump back n fort into the fuel pump gauge started working it was off from the mark half of a inch 1/2 clock wise and i turn on the key n the car run every thing is fine now is weird i guess cause the fuel pump hang by 2 long metal shim with the mark n the bottom of the fuel pump some thing was off by factory or went i place it some thing got stuck im the bottom of the fuel pump but i kown i put the right mark of the fuel pump n the mark of the gas tank but thanks 4 ur reply u the best thanks

Hey Ivan your last video of the Nissan is now a paid video of you went to a paid Channel is that the direction you were going now. Have been a subscriber for a long time but if you're going to be under a pay channel I will have to not be able to watch you any longer that would be very disappointing.
I use this car. And my convertible top gets stock while I'm trying to open it. Is there a way to maintain it and make it easy to come off and come back on?
If you put the top down and stick your arm over the door an alarm goes off, there's a proximity sensor down by the key in the middle console between the seats that uses some kind of ultrasonic device (basically its one of those "backup sensors" that beeps when it detects something close using sonar), so even if the car is locked and the top is down anyone messing with your car will set off the alarm.

As an old wise man always said. If you have a saab at home he will stay there until he is gone.

I had a 9-5 wagon. Very nice car and totally reliable. Had that cool feature to black out the instrument panel at night! Thanks Ivan!

What a surprise to see a Saab here, I also have the same year 9-3, just a coupe.

Sorry. And you do pay attention
At 9:26 Outdoor Temperature, Filtered 146.30F - TWICE live data. I Bet it was not that hot evening? Was it more common to have the alarm go off in hot weather?

You can still find the for saab new.
Lucas hydraulic booster stop leak will help as long as the leak isn't really bad where it's gushing fluid.
So if the siren wires, siren or connections at the siren or module are bad (similar to someone cutting the wires to the siren) the siren will go off powered by it's own battery. Wonder what the module & connection looks like under the seat especially being a convertible and letting moisture in occasionally?
good job keep up the good work bro
damn, he guessed the solder joint in the module off the top of his head? He’s good.

Same as Mercedes siren backup batteries go bad you have to crack them open, may have to repair circuit board if batteries have leaked.
Just curious Ivan. Do any of your friends have cars with less than 100,000 miles on them?
Actually yes, the guy who gave me his Saturn bought a brand new Ford Focus ST. Turbo and direct injection...what could possibly go wrong?
may be the on board battery is going bad?
a common BMW problem on cars of the same era.
I'm glad you like European cars Ivan lol Fred uk.

Transport Mode? Should disable alarm system?
Car is jostling and moving around a lot while being moved on a truck or ship. You certainly don't want alarms going off
Why I don't like cars with bells ans whistles on them - because that stuff breaks and then the car becomes a glob of bailing wire and chewing gum.
welcome to any car in the last 20 years
ICE in car entertainment!!!
I suppose it's really entertaining when a malfunctioning module locks you out of your car and immobilizes it. :(
Oh yeah , saabs were noted for having the ignition in the middle of the console
And you need to leave it in Reverse to take the key out!
why not just silence the siren? he has had no running issues
How to hot wire my Compressor button so my compressor comes on.
why not disconnect the alarm siren which under the driver front wing
You can, but it will still flash the lights and drain the battery if the alarm goes off...
And the car won't start. Still would've loved seeing you repairing that module though
I thought about looking at the module, but my friend had to drive it 3 hours back home so didn't want to risk making the problem worse and disabling the car completely ha

I use this car. And my convertible top gets stock while I'm trying to open it. Is there a way to maintain it and make it easy to come off and come back on?
which OBD tool are you using?
