Tech 2 Factory tool user guide.

There are a couple of points that should be clarified regarding the tech 2 as it relates to SAAB.

2 Flash memory cards are used for a full complement of software.

The latest version is currently version 134. This would be installed on a 32 Meg card.

For cars up to 1998 you need a 10 Meg card with version 43 or 44 installed.

I prefer 43 as it will work on cars up to 2003 without CAN, whereas 44 stops at 1998, which causes indy shops a lot of card swapping.

You will need the GM CANdi interface for the 2003 and later "sport sedan" vehicles.

Do not use the CANdi interface on earlier cars as it can cause hardware damage.

The flash memory cards are linear flash cards that support 12Volt write. They are not common, but are used on cisco routers. You can use linear flash cards that do not support 12V write, but you will not be able to use the "snapshot" function or download flash updates to the tool from a PC using TIS 2000.
