Intermittent Remote Lock/Unlock
A couple of weeks ago I started having this problem, about 15% of the time: the remote lock and unlock won't work.
At first I thought it might be the key, but I tried my spare as well, same issue. The weird thing is, most of the time it works.
There seems to be a correlation with high heat or humidity, but I haven't tracked that data scientifically.
There's no error in the SID. I remember when I bought the Saab, the battery in one remote needed changing, and I took care of it then.
Theories? 2005 9-5 Linear Wagon.

WIS have a tech II procedure to check it but your central locking in the car are functioning or not ? could be a low battery voltage or it is relatively new ?

Good question about the battery. I vaguely recall that coming up in a recent checkup, but it was "good enough".
The internal locking works - the toggle switch by the shiftstick. It's only the remote that comes and goes.

When you take your key out of the ignition, does it pop back up all the way?? If it's not, the car will not lock with your fob, because it thinks the key's still in the ignition. If you've got an intermittent problem, bang on the ignition a bit, if it pops back up and the key subsequently works then that's your issue...
