    I've been on the fence about buying one of these for about a year now. Cracked software worries me, as does counterfeit electronics from China. I've tried two brands of scanners that claimed to access all Saab systems (ECU, ABS, SRS, etc.)--iCarsoft V200 V2.0 and LAUNCH CR629. Neither lived up to its promise. I can see myself making use of a clone Tech2 owning three Saabs from 1995 - 2001. I just need a confidence boost.

    I agree that its essential for any enthusiast. Setting up GlobalTIS can be a little tricky bu there's plenty of help on line, Ive got it setup on an old DELL laptop that has a hardware RS232 port. The main limitation is that it must be a 32 bit windows OS, I used Windows 7 32 bit & and it works a treat as it has better USB and Adobe support.
    So far I have changed locking options, re-calibrated the spedo for alternative tyre size, reset service interval.

    No need for connecting the cig-power connector if you use ODB2-connector, it powers the tech2, the cigcable is only there if you use some of the other connectors that do not have power in them.
    Also, 9-3 need security access for nearly everything as you say, but 9-5 only needs it for very few things, like programming keys and swap "big" things like instrument gauge cluster (if I remember correctly, it was years since I did that).
    A nice thing is that the tech2 can have two different program cards in it at same time and then you can shift between them using the shift button, in mine I have one card for 9-5/9-3, and one for 900/9000, very handy.. I also have a opel card laying around that I can put in if needed.

    • @WeakestofWeeks
      @WeakestofWeeks  4 роки тому

      Thanks for watching! Your issue can be caused by various things but I would first try to determine if the issue is caused by fuel or spark issues. Fuel pressure can be checked with a fuel pressure gauge. O2 sensors would be another to check. Regardless of 2.0L or 2.8L both are somewhat common for that type of issue with a faulty crank position sensor. The ECU on the 2.0L is more common issue causing the same issue. I've read in the past about bad ABS modules causing shutting off while driving but likely more rare, but wouldn't rule out. A tech2 will definitely assist in diagnosing and is an excellent purchase! saabwisonline.com/ is a great resource to help in diagnosing too. Hope that helps!

    Hello! Thank you for the video. Do you know if this Tech2 clone can have security access to multiple vehicles? Or is one Tech2 clone for one car? I'm trying to do a CIM swap from an '05 9-3 Linear to an '05 9-3 Aero. I used this Tech2 clone (bought it from the link you put in the description) and GlobalTIS to get "security access type 1" for the Aero. I was then able to use the Tech2 clone to remove the Aero's defective CIM (all messages were ok and successful). Then I connected Tech2 to the '05 Linear, tried to remove its CIM, it told me to get security access. I went to the PC, got security access type1 from GlobalTIS, went back to the '05 Linear, and it told me to go get security access AGAIN. I tested that the Tech2 clone remembers the Aero and doesn't ask for security access again after i disconnect from/reconnect to the Aero. But even though GlobalTIS grants security access for additional vehicles (and VIN is correct for each vehicle), the Tech2 clone isn't able to reprogram any other car I tried (i.e. I could not remove the CIM from the '05 9-3 Linear and an '04 9-3 Linear). I also got security access type 1 from TIS 2000 for the '04 Linear, reconnected Tech2 to the '04 Linear, and Tech2 again sent me back to TIS 2000. I know that in all cases the vehicle VIN numbers shown by TIS software were correct. Since the Aero was the first car I used the granted security access on and I had no luck with the subsequent vehicles, all this leads me to believe that my Tech2 clone will only reprogram the first car it gets security access for. Am I missing something? Can I use the same Tech2 clone to remove/add CIMs on multiple SAABs?

    PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, everyone take note, if you use the tech 2 to just grab a DTC code, change a minor setting for lights etc from your car you may do so with the key in the on position and the engine off. If you are going to play around with your settings for hours TURN ON your engine to prevent your car battery going flat or too low to start your car. MOST IMPORTANT if you are using the Tech 2 to Update your ECU software with the key in the on position and the engine off DO NOT USE the cigarette socket or car battery... you should instead have it plugged into a separate home socket or power source to prevent the memory of your cars ECU being blanked by update failure due to lack of power. If you blank the ECU the car is DEAD forever and only good for parts. Keep on SAABING!!

Then plug back in and see if the headlights self level back to normal. If you're still having issues it could be related to the leveling sensors (one on the front left and one on the rear left control arms). Theres more to the system that controls them but easiest thing would he to check for damaged sensors or corroded connections since they're susceptible to the weather.

      Good question! If you're only using your tech2 on one car, then you only need to hook your scanner to the laptop once to get security access. After that, the VIN with security access is stored in the tech2's memory card and the laptop is no longer needed. With that being said, you can use the tech2 on more than one Saab, but you would need to use laptop to grant security access for each new VIN.

      As long as you only use it for one car then you should be good. As soon as you try to make adjustments on another car it will grab that vin and want security access again

    Does the T2 retain the security access once you shut it off and disconnect from the car? I got security access just like you did and on a subsequent hook-up to the car it asked me to get security clearance again???

    • @WeakestofWeeks
      @WeakestofWeeks  2 роки тому

      Normally once the tech2 stores the VIN to the car you're working on you do not need to hook back up to your laptop to regain security access. With that being said, mine has asked for security access again for certain things at random. Could be coincidence but I've stopped using the cigarette lighter plug to power the Candi module and have been using more of the standard wall adapter. Since then I haven't needed to regain security but again, probably just a coincidence.

    • @WeakestofWeeks

      The only "drive away" related change I am aware of with the tech2 is door lock at drive off. If you're having issues with cutout while driving you likely have a mechanical or electrical issue. I would look into air filter replacement, spark plugs, coil packs, fuel filter if your model is equipped with one, etc.

    • @WillRobinsonDanger
      @WillRobinsonDanger 4 роки тому

      Yes, but you would have to get a Pass-Thru that's compatible with Tech2Win. For this, you would need either a Mongoose or an MDI device. I have both of them. One is the Viag VCX-Nano which works better with GDS2. Another is a knock-out Mongoose 2 programmer GM. Tech 2Win doesn't work with the Mongoose due to it being a clone that doesn't have the proper protocols for Pass-Thru. The Mongoose costs between 482-500 dollars. It's a good setup as I saw it in action, but I end up getting the Tech 2 from OBD2eShop for $331.l With that I can do all of the programmings I need to do with my Saabs. Can't wait until it gets here!!!!!

    • @WeakestofWeeks
      @WeakestofWeeks  5 років тому

      By far the biggest pain is getting the security access. For me, I could never get the TIS2000 to grant me security access regardless of the amount of times I tried and the variations of installs. GlobalTIS is much more labor intensive of an install but works perfectly for me. I have a link in the description of this video that takes you to a forum on how to get security access through GlobalTIS. Take your time and follow the instructions and you should be good to go.

      Yep for sure you can! The reason folks have mixed results is bc they try to pair non-oem keys. It's tempting to use generic off brand keys (even if correct frequency) found online for much cheaper but they won't pair correctly. Tech2 clones do everything the real deal does. You just need the correct parts to pair.

      You're on the right track. Plug your tech2 into your Saab and try to make an adjustment. For example all doors unlock at key out, etc. It will then stop you and say you need security access and it will store your new vin. Plug into your laptop to finalize access via GlobalTIS or TIS2000 and you should be good.

      Unfortunately the NG95 is different electrically and the tech2 will not work.

      Yes, the Tech II will work with your car. You just need to make sure they sell you the latest SAAB card. You can use an OBD scanner, but you will only get ODB codes. You need a Tech II to access the manufacturer's diagnostic information (and there's lots of it) to check out problems, as well as to change vehicle settings, clear ABS & SRS codes, divorce/marry radios, etc.

      Before you connect the Tech2 to a computer for security access you need to connect the T2 to your Saab. Attempt to make an adjustment. Don't just read DTC's you need to try and adjust something. It will not allow you to change anything and will prompt you for security access. Then disconnect the T2 from your car and hook to computer for security access. From there it should pull your cars vin.
