NG900/OG9-3 (1994-2002) ECU Removal Instructions
Before you begin, remove the battery
negative terminal.
The ECU for NG900 and OG9-3 (1994-2002)
Saabs is located behind the glove box in the
passenger footwell. All of the following
instructions and pictures are shown from a
9-3, so there may be some variance in the
models.
There is a plastic push rivet that needs to be
removed. Try not to break it. The best way
is to use a small tool to push the pin of the
rivet through. This will release the rivet and
then you can reset the pin prior to
reinstallation.

Pull the insulation strip from the car in the
area of the glove box.
Then locate and remove the screw under the
glove box. The one in the picture is a 10mm
hex head bolt.
For the next step, take note of the 5 plastic
screw caps.
For each one of the five screw caps, use a
small flat blade screwdriver and flip the cap
open. Treat these little plastic pieces
carefully for easy reinstallation later on.
Then use a Torx T25 driver to remove each
of the 5 torx screws.
There is one additional t25 torx srew to
remove that does not have a cap.
Now the glove box can be removed. To do
so, pull the whole assembly towards you.
You may have to clear a snag on the bottom
with the air ducting, but it should come out
with relative ease. Don’t force it. If it
doesn’t come out easy, it’s likely hung up on
something underneath.
Once the glove box is free, remove the box
light connection in the back. They just pull
right off. Your glove box is now free to
remove from the car.

Here we can see the ECU as it sits in the
passenger footwell. It is secured by one
screw, this one happens to be another torx
t25 screw.
Remove the screw securing the ECU then
slide the ECU down and out of it’s location.
Flip up the latch on the ECU connector and
remove it. The ECU is now free to remove
from the car.
Here is an example of the Immobilizer code
on your ECU. If you are not sending in your
ECU for upgrading, then you will need to
send a picture of this Immobilizer code in to
Brew City Boost.
The Immobilizer code and VIN is required to
remotely marry the ECU to your car. If
incorrectly entered it will not start.
