Understanding Saab OpenSID Part 1: Basics - Trionic Seven

It's finally here! The Trionic Seven guide to understanding the parameters you find in OpenSID. This video will help you get intimate with one of the best features found in T7 Saab cars, OpenSID.

OpenSID can be used for reading OBD2 fault codes, look for vacuum leaks, boost problems, engine temperature, intercooler performance and much more. It's a great tool when tuning your Saab as it gives you very detailed information about your car and engine. It's almost as good as a scan tool like the tech2 :)

There are a lot of parameters or values in OpenSID. In this video I talk about Lamb (Lambda), Amul, mAir, mReq and nErr and LIMP.

Swedish: I denna guide visar jag hur man kan använda OpenSID i sin Saab för att förstå motorns interna beteende. Ett mycket användbart verktyg!

Literally going downstairs to the garage to check if my Saab 9:3 2006 already has this done ! If not will definitely be doing it today

[alexanderostlund]

Väldigt bra förklarat, har openSID i min 9-5a och har lite svårt att förstå det. Detta underlätta mycket.

[LarsGTV]

Kanonbra och tack! Just what I need to keep my 9'5 running in the streets and not in to a highcost garage. Greetings from Norway!

[hammerfix]

[endijs.ogrins]

[chicagoui]

Jonathan. You're a genius!! Thank you!!

[edwardskinner]

i have a 98 saab 900 s and my radio wont come back on is the sid causing that to happen ?

[beareggers]

Great! Now I have motivation for fixing my missing pixels.

[isaugonzalez]

Can you make a video on how to enter the radio code

[sbske]

Well done Jonathan. A really anticipated video. I have open SID in my 2006 9-5 aero and it is very informative as well as addictive. Please make sure that you explain all the parameters and their values. There are available info on the parameters online but their values and their respective normal boundaries are not explained well.
Also, are you aware if there is a performance parameter available to measure accelaration etc. Something similar to the eSID available for the 2007+ 9-3 ss models.
Thank you and keep up the good work.

How to convert error codes? For example i have 5216 error on my screen...

[glennnyland]

Hey! Great video. My amul says -513. Any reason to be concerned? Would this be a tuning error or an error on the car? 2.0t stage 1 .

[Lappen]

Hur får jag detta på min 9-5 2.0t -04?
