If you're experiencing an immobilizer failure on your 2003 or 2005 Saab 9-3, it means that the system that prevents unauthorized access to the vehicle has malfunctioned, and the engine won't start.

Here are a few steps you can take to try to resolve the issue:

  1. Check the battery: A weak or dead battery can cause issues with the immobilizer system. Make sure your battery is fully charged and in good condition.
  2. Check the key: The key you are using may be faulty or have a weak battery. Try using a spare key, or replace the battery in the key.
  3. Reset the immobilizer: Try resetting the immobilizer system by disconnecting the battery for at least 30 minutes. Reconnect the battery and try to start the engine again.
  4. Check the immobilizer system: If none of the above steps work, the issue may be with the immobilizer system itself. You may need to have the system checked by a Saab dealership or a qualified mechanic with experience working on Saab vehicles.

In some cases, a faulty immobilizer system may need to be replaced, which can be an expensive repair. If this is the case, you may want to consider contacting your insurance company to see if this type of repair is covered under your policy.

I hope these tips help you to resolve the issue with your Saab 9-3.
