I have seen it referred to enough times in this news group to conclude that it is one of the characteristic problems (quirks) of Saabs. In every other car I have owned the check engine light was a sign that the oxygen sensor needed to be replaced. Replace the oxygen sensor and the problem was fixed. Not on my Saab. I had it in the dealers three or four times, while they tried various fixes, starting with telling me that I must not have tightened up the gas cap sufficiently, and ending with changing the oxygen sensor or a trial basis. In the end, they decided there was a problem with the wiring harness, and fixed that. So far, that has taken care of the problem.
