Control Module: General
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2001 Saab 9-3. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The DICE control module is located above the main relay board (LHD) and adjacent to the main relay board (RHD). It is connected to the system components with a 70-pin connector.
As the central unit in the DICE system, the control module checks and controls the system components and functions as follows:
- DICE - controls the power supply to the various system functions. Power is supplied directly via the control module and via external relays that are grounded through the control module.
- DICE - is connected to the instrument bus (I-BUS) and receives, processes and transmits information (communicates) via the bus to/from other systems (control modules) connected to the bus. See BUS COMMUNICATION
- DICE - has its own diagnostics function and diagnostic trouble codes are set when faults occur.
- DICE - is programmable. Certain functions can be programmed to meet with laws, market demands, customer requirements and the car's equipment. See MENU "PROGRAMMING"
