Nor is it all that good. FWIW Saab thinks their software update will
a) extend the life of the unit by mofifying the drive logic and
2) set a code when the DIC is limping, rather wait for the smoke to get out of the coils. So far I don't think we have a conclusion as to whether the theory is correct.
It will be some time before that shakes out. In the mean time, DIC failures in the 9-5 have been more of a problem than in the 9000 it replaced, an embarassing bit of backward progress...
