Your mechanic's explanation is the way it's SUPPOSED to work. However, in my case (1996 900SE), after a several visits to the dealer and replacement of the oxygen sensor on a trial basis, it was decided that the problem was in the wiring. A wiring harness was fixed, and that seems to have cured the problem. From what I've seen in this news group, check engine light problems unrelated to the oxygen sensor are much more common in Saabs than in other cars. omni12 wrote: > > same problem with my 1993 saab 9000csi, my mech said the engine light my > stay on when starting and turning off the engine, if computer is satisfied > (self diognostic) that what ever fault caused it to occur has corrected it > self it will then not come up with the check engine light. loose gas cap or > weak battery can cause it to come on, or disconnecting the battery while > being serviced.. > > Rich <richabnopsamax.net> wrote in message news:%o1m9.1955$4c.1770nopsam... > > The Saab is a 94 with 100,000 miles.
