Subject: 1995 Saab 900 SE TCS/Throttle and other problems


Hi: I have a 1995 Saab 900 SE (6 Cyl., 5 speed) which is suffering from a spate of problems which may, or may not, be related. The first issue is that the TCS system seems to be engaging randomly on dry surfaces where there is no excess wheel spin on any of the wheels. Either the ABS comes on or the throttle is being retarded which causes the car to hesitate and stutter. Taking the TCS system offline seems to cure the problem. I've taken the car to the dealership; they seem to indicate that all of the computer systems check out without any faults. The current thinking is that it is a throttle issue. Is this possible? As a corrolary, the TCS warning indicator in the tach may or may nor come on when the car misbehaves. The second issue is that the TCS OFF indicator displays spontaneously without my having disengaged the TCS system. There does not seem to be a relationship between this and the car misbehaving. The only way I can re-engage the TCS system is to turn the car off, remove the key and then restart the car. The last (I hope) problem is with the instrument cluster. Occasionally, the entire display goes dark. When this happens, I've checked to ensure that the Black Panel and the brightness rheostat have not been altered accidentally. The fuses are not blown and appear to be seated properly. Another instrument related issue is that the speedo gets stuck occasionally, particularly on longer drives. Turning the car off for ten minutes seems to cure the problem. Any ideas? Thanks for your help. Best Regards.
