Traction Control Failure. Contact Service

[SatchSportSedan]

Dear czejzee and others,
please Re-read my first initial response on your topic;
one thing i forgot to mention, when I was confronted with this Traction Control failure,
my cars was always in a dry garage!
The only thing (cold) temperatures could do on suspect 'bad' connections is crimping (or expand depending),
so corroded contacts could temporaly improve after starting, due to vibrations, until next morning,...
So I think the wet conditions are a flaw in the diagnosis of the problem,and can be forgotten.
Did you ever try checking the big battery negative connections underneath the plastic battery holder???
This is one thing I remember having read somewhere once,
and is an easier thing to so, before shipping your car to the sea
Unbolt it, sand paper it, preserve it after re-bolting with some moisture resistant paint, as to avoid corrosion.

This is really an important grounding connection where ALL major current flows back to the battery.
Aswell, as the engnes grounding strap, which was in the early days a major culprit for not starting!

Goodluck, Harry.

Thank you, i'll try. My friend had a VW Golf R and it was turning off when it was dry outside. He changed a computer and all bad gone.

Checked all the wires. I think the main problem is mass air sensor (MAF) or bad air, and the second suspect - Camshaft Position Sensor (CPS). All of them are weak when it's wet outside.

I bought a diesel's engine shield for a better protection, because when i had cleaned chassis, there was no check engine for over a month!

This could help!

Throttle mapsensor was changed. In a couple days - i'll change CPS an then we'll see, but... I've discovered one error -> Oxygen Sensor Failed, so it could be Sonda Lambda wire or Sensor too still looking

[czejzee]

I think i got the reason of turing off. CPS - Camshaft Position Sensor which was/is weak when it's wet outside...

Hmm it's too early for celebrating.. i got a new Check Engine Codes - P0031 and P0037..

WEll, when confronted with "out-of-the-blue" almost random occuring different error messages,
without any noticeable real malfunction: please-please-please:
* Try just an additional grounding strap from battery negative terminal-to-chassis-to engine block.
And see whether within weeks, errors re-occur or not.

Than anyhow the bad ground issue is eliminated or resolved ;-?
Greetz, Harry.

I'll try. Already my all coolant fluid is away and a turbo pipe was blown. Something's bad with pressure.

[edit]: cap was damaged.

I've changed Stage 1 Hirsch for a new Stage 2 other brand (PL) and my car is still running good. Maybe it was Engine Soft, some bad bytes? 1 week, 400km and still don't have check engine and Saab don't want to turn off.

[czejzee]

6000km after soft changing and my car is still running with no errors!

But i wonder if BSR cat back is on the right position? Just look at those pictures.
