Pre-replacement function check of ignition discharge module
Cars affected
All cars with electronic ignition
Background
Because there is no diagnostic tool specifically for the ignition discharge module, it can be difficult to measure certain of the module's functions. Saab now has produced a special test module, Part No. 83 95 279 (CA: 30567748). This module, used together with the other special tools and diagnostic procedures, makes it possible to test the ignition discharge module and thereby avoid unnecessary replacements.
The test module is a standard ignition discharge module, except that ports have been provided between the mounting holes on the sides of the module. A hole for hanging the module has been provided and the module is painted blue. The test module has undergone comprehensive function checks during both factory and road tests.
