Incorrect fuel consumption shown on SID
Cars affected
Saab 9-3, M00 with VIN Y2000113 - Y2016297 (3D/5D) and Y7000032 - Y7004524 (CV).
Background
The value for the average fuel consumption may increase after turning the ignition off and on. The Trionic control module sends the current fuel consumption via the I-bus to the main instrument unit. When the ignition is turned off, the control module continues to send the value until it takes its rest state (20 minutes). Under certain circumstances, an "old" value may be activated on the bus when the ignition is turned on and this can decrease the value by 1-2 MPG.
