SAAB 2007 9-7X w/4.2L engine - car will not start. Keyfob cracked.
What is your question?
I just want to know If there is a way to disconnect the anti-theft device in my SAAB so it can be driven. It is over 13 years old. I had a new keyfob made; but, it is saying I now need a PCM? How could that be if it was running perfectly and was just inspected less than 2-months ago?
What makes this problem better or worse?
Cannot start the vehicle? Even with a new keyfob? The locksmith could not program the new keyfob - his diagnostic computer stated - PCM issue?
How long has your 2007 Saab 9-7x had this problem?
3 plus weeks (car has been left in my work parking lot)
"It is saying" - what is "it"? The diagnostic tool is not telling you that you need to replace the PCM, it is saying there is a concern present. Likely there is a relationship issue between the "new key fob" and the PCM. The vehicle must be programmed for a relationship to exist with the new key.
I would suggest that you need to seek the guidance of a GM dealership that can work on the anti-theft key programming of this vehicle. Additionally, it could be that your new key is not compatible for some reason.
