If prompted to select a registration method, select USB Key and OK the prompts.Ĭ) Insert the SaabTIS2008-2 update disc (or mount the drive) into the same drive you installed the original GM TIS2000 application. If you didn’t get it with a clone, you can get a copy with the USB dongle for about £15 (see e) below).

If this is the case, install the first disc only but don’t run up the application on completion. One is the app, the other is the GM update disc, which is not required. If supplied with a clone, there are normally two discs. You can find it if you’re patient… Best to burn the image to a CD.ī) Install the GM TIS2000 application (needs to be Windows, 32-bit operating system). This is the update disc you need to turn the GM application into something useful. But as I said, this software as supplied does not include Saab models, so to run it successfully:Ī) Download Saab TIS2008-2. In fact the only Saab this will work with is a 9-7x which was a GM US-built SUV – anyone got one of these? Anyway, the crucial point is that this software only supports models up to 2007/8 (which is probably good enough for most of us) so if you’ve a later model you’ll need to use TIS2Web (see below). However, these are generally NAO (North American Operations) and do not include any UK/European Saab models. If you get a clone, this generally comes with a couple of TIS2000 CDs/DVDs. So, for the software itself, there are two options. The PC software also adds other functionality such as being able to update the Tech 2 software, the car ECU software, print-outs of ECU data and additional diagnostic services – I believe the TIS2Web actually includes schematic diagrams and other WIS (workshop) info, but I have yet to investigate this.
(If you have mates with GM/Suzuki etc cars, you can do diagnosis on them as well by just grabbing the appropriate software card.) This is what turns the Tech 2 into a Saab Tech 2. Therefore, the Tech 2 unit can be used on a wide array of cars but you must have the correct model software loaded on the removable PCMCIA card. The original Tech 2 handsets were produced by Vetronix/Bosch and were used across the GM range.
Whilst the diagnosis side can be performed standalone, to be able to actually change settings on the car, Tech 2 ‘Security Access’ is required, which means activating the Tech 2 handset via PC software. This in itself is incredibly useful, but it is also possible to reprogram modules within the car to change various functions and add or replace faulty modules and programme keys.

Most of the information is already out there on various boards/forums but it would be nice to try to bring it together for us with a purely Saab interest.įor those who don’t know, the Tech 2 unit (handset) can be used to interrogate the various management modules on the car (ECU) to report status, fault codes and perform manual activation and monitoring in the event of fault occurrences/engine management light occurrences.
I’d welcome comments on where this post can be improved/altered etc.
This is Trollhattan’s contribution for those interested in playing with a Tech 2 scan tool, here’s a little info regarding the software requirements once you’ve got your hands on a Tech 2 handset.įirstly, I’m by no means an expert on this having only recently got this up and running myself, but I think that’s the tricky part.
