From what I understand, NG900's after 96 or so don't flash the check engine light, you have to use a scanner. Supposedly in earlier cars you could get the check engine light to give you an indication of the fault *area*, but not the actual code. This is for USA cars but it would make sense that Saab would use the same system worldwide. I think you need to buy a scanner to see any codes. But, as long as the check engine light is not on, you probably don't have any codes stored. Bob
