NOTE: When a system function is activated with the Scan Tool, the Motronic control module is made to do something that it would not otherwise do in the course of its normal operation. This may cause diagnostic trouble codes to be generated in other systems which are dependent on the Motronic system.

Activation should only be carried out with the ignition switch in the ON position and the gear lever in neutral.

IMPORTANT: The activate functions should always be used with discretion.
^ Always deactivate an activated operation before proceeding in the Intellegant Saab Tester (ISAT) scan tool menu.
^ Always clear any diagnostic trouble codes generated in the Motronic system when you have finished fault diagnosis.
