The great "lost communication with ECU", I hate it. The first time I was reprogrammed a CIM and it told me that failure I was thinking: oh f... now the car I destroyed, time to scrap it. Mostly I have this failure when I get a waiting time before. When redoing it there is normally no waiting time and no failure.

It’s so annoying! I’ve had it happen with some many random modules. I have no idea what the issue could be, but thankfully with enough persistence I’ve been able to program what I’ve needed to 😅🤣

Patience.....you have much more patience for the ridiculousness of the "failed" crap than I do! In all fairness, KNOWING that it just likes to hassle you, and persistence will eventually pay off, would go a long way to giving me more patience! Awesome video, way more involved than I previously believed. My gremlin was changing out the power distribution center (fuse box) by the battery. Ugh....suddenly the wipers, high beams, horn did not work. Replaced with another and everything that was not working came back, but now it would not engage reverse lights! Since I do not have a Tech2, I had to go to the stealership. All is well now. Great video, amazing patience! I look forward to more 9-3 videos (only because I have a 9-3), but the 900 videos are awesome too!

I thought I was going to have to replace the CIM in my 2006 Vert. High bean would only work very rarely on flash, and wouldn't engage as on at all. Turned out all I had to do was remove the stalk, and blast the CIM connectors with contact cleaner. Put the stalk back, and all good. Phew.

My key split open and I lost the half with the chip un-noticed. I bought a locksmith service on eBay; sent the CIM and the doorkey away to be programmed with a new key and doorkey cut as well. Costed me $160. I could have bought a Tech 2 and learn to diy.

Losing connection could be a couple of things. My Candi module cord has a bad wire inside that if it is moved or at an odd angle, I lose connection. Another issue is the ABS unit board can fail and make the bus intermittent. Currently dealing with that on my wagon now, saving up for another ABS module....lol

Yeah. The scary reality of owning a NG 9-3. The dreaded CIM! Great informative video. Unfortunately as our cars age the circuit boards develop dry joints and or connectors that marry up all the different systems corrode. If we keep replacing our CIMs with second had ones they'll be no cars left on the road. It would only take someone with a good understanding of circuitboard technology to track down the problem. Is it a connection issue, dry joint, IC, capacitor, resister, diode or operational amplifier? If we can't fix the CIM board can we have a replacement manufactured? A copy so to speak. Every time I go to start my Aero I think. "Will it start?" I have been really thinking of selling my car and buying a 9000 or 900. My old 900i had 250 000 kms on it when I bought it. It did another 250 000 kms before I lost it. Accident. Insurance said it was not worth repairing and just paid out. My old 900 was so cheap to run and maintain. Craziest part is my old 900i is worth more that my Aero is. Apparently that's progress. Cheers from downunder.

Great comment! That’s definitely got to be a concern, hopefully similar to the ECUs, someone can figure out how to rebuild/refurb them. The 900’s values are crazy..mine has got to be worth more than my 9-3 too, it’s an odd feeling

I understand from your excellent video that I will need the Tech 2. What is the computer program needed to unlock the security? Many thanks!

Awesome tutorial. I'm thinking I need a new CIM. I have a 2004 and I've had the steering lock malfunction since 2014 . I didn't have a problem turning the key, I just couldn't get the car to start. I replaced the ignition module (part the key goes into) and the lock box under the dash, but same issue. Do those need programmed to the car? I was under the impression those parts were plug and play.

The ISM (where the key goes)is plug and play, so you should be good there. I’d recommend getting scanned with a tech2 for codes before replacing the CIM, just so you can confirm
