On board Diagnostic 10-pin connector

Hello,
I have a 1990 saab classic 900 16v convertible right hand drive,
My problem is that I can not find the connector terminal to run on board Diagnostic.

In the official service manual (Bentley Publishers Saab 900 16 valve) under "Fuel Injection page 240-5" Fig.3. it say the 10-pin connector for convertibles is under the bellows ahead of the shifter.

I have removed the covers to only find hood connector, I have looked under the rear seats with no results.

can you please help me to find this connector or wire diagram to connector?

Kind regards Osman

    Thank you, but I have removed everything down to the carpet and found no 10-pin connector.

  • sarper Jun 11, 2008

    Thank you, It look like I will have to re-wire a new connector, if I only knew where the connection went to.

  • sarper Jun 11, 2008

    In the official service manual it says for older models to look front right fenderwells near air inlet,no luck!

  • sarper Jun 16, 2008

    Thank you for everyone trying, If I only knew where pin 2 on the10 pin connector went to?

    Would be happy to buy a new connector and re-wire it, Can any one help ?

Check further up ahead of the bellows, may be in the housing for the console itself. I think there are two connectors up in there, but wait for other posts before digging further. My suggestion is only that.

    I will try to figure this out. Memory keeps telling me there is a connector at one of the front fenderwells. The fuse box is on the left front fenderwell...I'll make some calls and get back to this post. Don't rate this post as it is only brainstorming from memory...

  • mark thompson Jun 16, 2008

    I wonder if the right hand drive is messing this up...May have to consult a UK service manual...(?) I remember this connector sticking out of a wiring harness along the fenderwell but the right hand drive may be the issue. I'll keep looking.

How do you remove the tensioner pulley on a 1998 Saab 900 SE Convertible 2.0

Disconnect the Negative Battery Cable
2. Remove the air breather/cleaner and hose from between the air breather/cleaner and throttle housing
3. Remove the strain of the belt tensioner off the belt and pry off the belt
4. Remove the right front wheel
5. Remove the belt cover & Disconnect the battery Cable and the red alternator power wire.
6. Remove the two Alternator Bolts that secure the alternator to the bracket
7. Remove the three bolts that hold the header pipe up to help give room to remove the alternator
8. Remove the converter bolt from the converter bracket and mover the converter over to aid in the alternator removal
9. Refit in reverse

Working from Top down:
disconnect battery 2) not necessary to remove airfilter box but does give more breathing room for belt removal/instal 3) un-tension serpentine belt with a 1/2" drive long extension in the square of the tensioner & pull towards the front of the car to release the serpentine belt 4) lock tensioner with about a 4mm pin(Allen key will do) by pulling forward with that 1/2"drive extension & pinning the tensioner with that hole 5) remove tensioner with 8mm Allen key or drive(not necessary to remove R side engine mount & raise engine) and be careful to not knock and cause to release the tensioner-they hurt when they snap! 6) remove upper alternator bolt(8mm Allen key/drive).

Working from Bottom of the engine bay:
disconnect cables at alternator(13 & 8 mm nuts) 8) remove R wheel/inner fender skirt that covers the harmonic balancer(10 & 8 mm heads)/ tie back flex hose to strut 9) remove lower alternator bolt(8mm alley key/drive) 10) wedge/rotate out alternator of its mounts 11) disconnect exhaust pipe rubber hangers at catalytic converter and mid section of exhaust 12) you can bend(and later re-bend into position the hanger studs) (OR undo front header studs/nuts to free up the front part of the exhaust) to push over the exhaust and pull out the alternator(pulley nose down)--be careful when getting the alternator out as the downstream O2 sensor is right there(a good precaution would be to remove it)......reverse procedures to install.

Diagnostic connector location

USA? what country?
RHD or LHD (right or left hand drive)?????
all usa cars, the 16pin DLC is less than 1meter from the steering wheel.
yours is behind the ash try(pull it)
some old honda's here, usa have dual ways to get scan codes.
the obd2 way , and obd1 way, RTM
read the FSM. or google for that.
I use ,alldata.com for fast answers, saving google searches and bad answers on forums...

fsm quote.
The 16-pin On Board Diagnostic version II (OBD-II) compliant Data Link Connector (DLC) is used to access the Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) using an OBD-II compliant Data Scan Tool (DST). It is an electrical connector with a gray housing located under the dash, either near the center console, on the passenger side of the vehicle or to the left of the driver side of the vehicle.
The two wire electrical connector with a blue housing next to the DLC is the Service Check Connector (SCS).


we (uSA have 2 DLCs. one is OBD2 and other is SCS.

id use a real scan tool. and not fool with the old winky blinky bs.
the scan tool you can check all live sensor data.
do that. and win.
1st goggle hit on SCS

I have a 2001 Saab 93 with a trouble code of P1251. Any idea of what that means?

Hello! The problem is that the Electronic Throttle Motor (ETM) is in limp mode...Most common fault is that the mechanism is fouled with carbon...But first check connector for loose or broken wires...It has a 10 pin connector...Remove and clean motor and throttle body using throttle body cleaner...See attached drawing...It is a procedure to take the motor out of limp mode...

How do I replace the cabin air filter on a Saab

On Right hand drive models you remove carpet like trim by pushing the centre pin in trim buttons in left hand footwell nearest centre. Remove then take of black rectengular cover. I think it's 2 small hexagon screws.
Hope I've remembered that right!.

Saab 2004 9-3 Convertible

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
