How to reset a Saab B235R throttle body from Limp-Home-Mode

This is a very easy how-to on resetting a throttle body from limp-home-mode for most OG9-3 and NG900's (and some 9-5's). The dealership will charge you LOTS of money for this simple 5 minute job. You will also have to have the check engine light reset, but you can get that done for free usually at Auto Zone or Advance Auto Parts, or if you have an OBDII scan tool, clearing the codes will clear the code & light that a reset throttle body will throw.

so this is only necessary if your CEL is on? About a year and half ago. My CEL and Check Gearbox were on, 2 months later they went away. Haven't come back since. lol

Thanks, followed instructions and all is well, have to disconnect the battery which cleared the service nag as well! so dashboard doesn't look like blackpool / coney island any more ie no more lights,

Fooled two local garages.

Thanks again, a real help

Is there a way to completely remove the possibility of the 'Limp Home Mode' activating? Upgraded throttle body perhaps? :D

Thank you! You are an Angel. Just want to mention to everyone, If your check engine light is already on you will have to pull the cord to the battery to reset your car before restarting, or else your car will go right back into Limp home mode.
