Project Saab Episode 13 - Maptun Stage 1 Tune!

Mine was the wheel bearing itself front passenger side you can find a and code reader that will tell you what one is faulty

[@chilidogcats]

Stability Control Failure? Yes I had that! The TRW ABS unit has a flawed circuit board that doesn't like extreme heat so the solder cracks and you get lose connections. You can take off the unit, cut it open, and try to fix it yourself. Or you can buy a new ABS module which is beaucoup bucks. The option I chose was to have my ABS Remanufactured. They clean the circuit board, test it, solder out the flaws, and recoat the board. That came with a Lifetime Warranty. Also didn't need a Tech II for that. Cost was about $390 including shipping. Took off ABS in am. Mailed that day. They received, reman'd, and mailed back next day. Got it in return mail and installed it on day 3. 😁 Just be aware the short in the ABS will cause other issues: drained battery, ignition won't engage, A/C cuts off . . . 😢

I recently took my S60 2.4T for a drive, got to a red light and a Porsche Macan S pulled up next to and judging by the sound engaged launch control (possible to go in front of me in my lane). I was like yeah game on and i keept up with him in the rain despite him having more power, probably more torque, AWD and a PDK he barely had a car length on me (as in my front bumper in line with his rear bumper). Maybe he was playing with because is shouldn’t have been able to keep up with a 340Hk PDK boat in my 200Hk manual S60. I’m so looking forward to getting a tune for it, to maybe make the next “race” (if it was a race) a bit more even.

I have a stage 1 noobtune on my 93 cabrio. 250bhp is amazing fun!

[@AutoAutopsy]

[@CycloneCyd]

Have you fixed that stability yet? if not, check the wiring to the rear WSSs where it jumps from the body to the suspension arm. Cables broken internally are common here. Never known a yaw module fail - they're just simple accelerometers. What were the codes saying?

[@AutoAutopsy]

I don't honestly remember the codes; I will relay the info though. next time were able to look at the car I'll be sure to check this!

[@CycloneCyd]

@@AutoAutopsy when you have a partially broken wire, you'll get a code for that sensor. The number of garages that replace sensors and then can't work out why they cannot reset the code is off the scale. Applies to anything on the car too - always check wiring integrity.

Wish you were in Tarpon Springs Florida, would love to do this to my 05' 93 ARC convertible, just turned 40,000 miles,.

[@morcillete31]

Hello friend, I have a Saab from the end of 2006, it is a 18t 2.0 150 hp and I was very interested in reprogramming it with Maptuner the 1st stage and raise it to 210 hp. I am not thinking of putting a high performance air filter on it but I am planning to change the spark plugs and I don't know which ones would be best... the original NGK ones. Would I do the reprogramming myself... is it difficult to do it and is there anything to take into account? (The video explains it very well, but it is just to clear up any doubts... Thanks!!

[@AutoAutopsy]

Enjoy 👍🏼 The video shows it all. Here’s another video on the tuning process, as well as a video on changing spark plugs: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fJbCfI2ha699nLMsi=4IqD29o8SLEpZKFq & kzbin.info/www/bejne/rnvcf32we71lgKssi=xDiqoG5knTppkeYo

[@antonylouch1929]

Hi Folks!!! Currently running a Maptun Stage 1 on my 2007 B207R Aero auto with a Maptun panel air filter, and I've had the eSID showing 291bhp ( I forget the torque figure). How accurate do you think this is? Next steps are to get a new stainless steel exhaust, DO88 intercooler ( and radiator whilst the front is off), and then go for a Stage 2 or 3 remap. What sort of bhp and torque figures could I expect? Love the videos...

[@thore1704]

290? I thought the stage 1 was 245 on the 2.0

[@antonylouch1929]

@@thore1704 I guess the calibration of the eSID is out a little bit... Going to get the work done and then get it tested properly.

[@AutoAutopsy]

Yeah, 290 seems high for stage 1 on a 2.0. No hate or anything meant by that! I have heard the eSID doesn’t really read to accurately on tuned cars. My power numbers on my TX are much higher than what the eSID2 reads unfortunately:((

[@torgnynator2860]

The Esid cant read those values on tuned cars.

[@nathanphelps1347]

What are the steps in programming the wheel control paddle shifters with the tech2?

[@MassiveTrackHunter]

ICM might be failing, which can cause that error. Mine did a few years ago on my 05, no more errors since replacing.

[@MassiveTrackHunter]

Yaw module error will show itself when the car goes over uneven surfaces or bumps. Sounds like you may already have the correct issue. Good luck!

[@AutoAutopsy]

Thanks!!

[@bernhardjost]

Did a Maptun Stage 1 on my 9-5 (2.3T) a couple months ago, but could feel almost no difference. Is there any way to diagnose whether the tune is actually on?

[@znorc]

My guess is that at least one of the check-valves for the tank EVAP system are broken. Very common problem that makes it seem like the tune made no difference. www.saabcentral.com/threads/how-to-fix-the-evap-check-valves-not-the-bolt-mod.660841/

[@AutoAutopsy]

I would get in contact with maptun/sms about that!

[@stevecuss6723]

I have a stage 1 on my 9-5 Arc. Auto transmission. Can I get the sort of exhaust note that you get on the intro of your video or does an auto box tend to not get the burble and pops? What exhaust is on that Saab? Sounded amazing.

[@AutoAutopsy]

That’s a different motor so you’d sound a lot different haha. That car has a krona downpipe, midpipe, and a muffler delete. I would look into krona and maptun. I believe both make full exhaust systems for the 9-5 that should give you the result you’re looking for

[@_etzy_r696]

If you buy a stage 1 lisence for a 93, can you only use it for that vin, or could you use it on different 93 once you bought it?

[@AutoAutopsy]

Only one vin.

[@0ttoman1997]

Been watching your video's for a year now after owning 93 v6. Love the content! I've had the stability control issue for a while, what could it be?? Looked on forums but can't seem to find a definitive answer! All the best Otto

[@AutoAutopsy]

Thank you! I’ve also had it on my 2.0 since I got it and have still not gotten around to fixing it. My issue might be because of the clock spring in the CIM

Hey Otto-i have just buyed me an used 9-3/06 and after few weeks,i got masseges about ABS fail and then STC prob-BUT im pretty sure,it,s around a ABS censor or wiring to those or a ABS ring-and the button to could avoid the TSC is not a possible for safety reason of course-so you dont get all power,then the ABS orbit telling about a fail at the Brakes. Dont know about,you also have fail message onto your ABS ? and an Hello from Michael in Denmark and a very happy owner of a Tuned Saab 9-3 for sure and only sometimes those messages shows up and always in combination-then i pull over and turn of the car waiting for 1 minute and then i turn on again--the messages are gone and can set TCS of,if i will..

My Saab is throwing a p0171 code. Drives fine but is bogging and losing power only when you really floor it. If you don’t floor it, it drives totally fine. I’m thinking it’s an injector.. what do you think ? Any suggestions?

[@chilidogcats]

First thing to do is get a bottle of Fuel Injector Cleaner and add it to you gas tank. If code doesn't go away after injectors are cleaned then suss out what else may be the issue. I was getting a P0089 and P0198, so I got a new Fuel Pressure sensor and then a gas cap. Still had the codes. Ran Fuel Injector Cleaner and after just half a tank burned, the codes have gone away. At least I now have a couple of new parts, but I could have saved some $$ by doing injector cleaner first.🤦‍♀️
