The check engine light is usually triggered by a fault in the emission control system. I suppose a loose fuel cap could cause this because part of the emission control system is to prevent gas fumes from escaping from the tank vent. Simple things like a loose or leaking vacuum hose are the usual cause for the light. Vacuum hoses are the easiest thing for amateurs like me to check. Beyond vacuum hoses, a more complicated reason for the light should be considered. It would require knowledge of the Saab emission control system to really know what to do next. The possibilities are endless. thanks Franke
