This ensures that once returned, your ECU delivers reliable Saab performance again.

Expected Lifespan After Repair
On average, a repaired ECU with heatshield lasts:
2 to 6 years, depending on the condition of other internal components
We repair the active fault(s) and assess known weak points, but aging components may still fail over time.
⚠️ Important Disclaimer
- New faults may appear after the repair due to underlying issues in the vehicle or previously masked errors
- We recommend contacting us if new fault codes appear—we can help determine whether the issue is ECU-related or vehicle-related

- PN ending 231 → Early: MY2004 (SAI), Later: MY2005–2006
- PN ending 1881 / 020 → Facelift models up to 2012 (no SAI)
