Where is the outside air temp located on a SAAb 9-3 aero, convertible, 2004 model ? Wrong readings of -40 showing on the dash board.

Yes it does. There are many causes from poor fuel grade to timing issues. I would take it to a SAAB garage for service.

The "top"? Convertible top? I would check the fuses first as it is always possible to blow a fuse when a battery is connected (or disconnected).

old post and no symptoms, what reads wrong? or? scan fails or gauge? what?
for efi or the dash guage.? SAAB (2 "A"s?)
most newer cars is one sensor for both, FSM show this
as does alldata.com
ill answer for ECT.

2.0Liter. (google shows 500k hits but sure takes time to find it)
do you see the top rad hose, and it goes to the thermostat housing
and on said housing is the ECT.
this is for ECU usage. only. but ECU may repeat it to dash gauge.

need to be re calaberating. take to dealer

Change heater output temperature sensor.That is a SAAB dealer job.

I belive it would have to do it through the blue tooth menu on the phone but you will have to activate the vehicles system also which should be in the owners manual.I hope this helps you.

I have a motorola phone pairing kit that plugs right into the factory harness. Ill sale it for $100. Bose system, 2007 saab aero 9-3 sport. (not the navigation model) Contact me at [email protected]. Its a VERY handy item. It just doesen't work with the nav unit that i have now.

yes it is in the left side qtr panel behind the qtr trim...

sit in the back seat behind the drivers seat and its right there on your left...behind the trim... kinda a ***** to get to.. but if you get it out.. you can get a replacement from
Elite foreign auto used saabs parts

I have a 2004 Saab 9-3 Arc convertible that had the same problem. The spring on the hinge assembly for the package shelf latch assembly was broken. The part itself is over $300. If you have someone remove the spring, your top will work again. You'll just have to put up with the top shelf hanging down in your trunk about 1 foot, but you can still manually move it to place things inside like your luggage or golf clubs.

Had same problem, in the boot right hand side, behind the removable panel there is :
1 - a hydraulic reservoir which must be at correct level.
2 - a black box (stc) this controls the roof system,
switch ignition off then pull the 2 connectors off for 30sec then reconnect.
This worked and hope this resolves your problem
