This indicates a malfunction within the engine control computer which operates and monitors many functions of the engine,transmission and emmision control devices.At this point you should have diagnostics ran to where a technician will interface your vehicle with a diagnostic computer and retrieve trouble data set by your computer as these codes are stored.Sometimes these are fairly non-detrimental trouble codes which may only take a reset for instance fuel emmision codes set as a result of a lose gas cap.

I have a 2003 saab 9-3. front and rear fog lights are not working. all other lights work fine.

as im sure you know saab is classed as a vauxhall in europe and is made by vauxhall/opel europe,so the people of gb/ireland/europe if they want a saab they buy an opel/vauxhall,so this car has the same problems,so try replacing the fog bulbs or make sure the switch is in the right position /or as the opel has a wireing fault .adrian,,,,

Check engine light Saab 05 93 Linear

Take the car to a local auto parts place and they should be able to scan the computer and give you the code that triggered your check engine light. Most places will run this scan for free. Even if your Saab appears to be running fine it is prudent to have this checked to avoid a sudden break down. I hope this helps. Good luck.

I have a 2002 Saab 9-3 SE 2.0 H.O.T the Engine light and Traction control lights are on. I have had the throttle body replaced 2 times and the lights are back on. What else could it be? Thank You

Most likely the TCS module mounted on the abs unit used costs around 500.00 im pretty sure

Service engine soon light

if certain that car has no sensor then carry on with self preservation (plus,leads,filter and such) as the warning light does come on sometimes to tell you to service/ take to a garage to service.
