Not really a deliberate experiment- just never got around to switching the DIC out on wifes 2002 9-5 (2nd DIC) which I seldom get to drive. CEL would come on every week or two and then reset on its own for a good 6 months until I finally had to get off my butt and swap the DIC as the emission test was due.
Interestingly I did notice a difference in idle stabilization at start and throttle responsiveness with the new DIC. It never notably missed and the MPG was fine with the old DIC. So i guess the lesson is that the newer DICs don't necessarily fail catastrophically without much warning like the old. They can hang in there quite awhile in a gradually weakening state and the the slow deterioration is not that necessarily noticeable until you drive it with a new DIC in.
