A note concerning some of the terms used in this manual.

This service Manual uses terminology for electrical and electronic components and systems which is somewhat different from the preciously used by Saab. This new terminology confirms to the Society of Automotive Engineers Recommended Practice SAE J1930. The use of SAE J1930 terminology is required by the California Air Resources Board (CARB) for new Service Manuals beginning with the 1993 model year. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has also proposed regulations requiring the use of J1930 terminology beginning in model year 1994.
While this change in terminology may be troublesome in the beginning for technicians accustomed to Saab component and system names, standardization within the automotive industry will in time reduce the confusion that can result from different terms for same component. For example, the Saab term "Automatic Idle Control valve" or "AIC valve" is termed by other manufactures as "Electronic Air Control Valve solenoid", "Auxiliary Air Control valve", "Idle Stabilizer valve" and "Air Control Valve". This manual uses the SAE J1930 term "Idle Air Control Valve" (abbreviated as "IAC valve") which is the same term other automotive manufacturers will use for this component.
The SAE J1930 terms were not selected on the bases of what component names were the ones commonly used by most auto manufactures. Instead the SAE used a logical method for describing components in which modifiers are added to a based word in order of decreasing significance. To use the example above: Idle Air Control Valve. The base word is "valve". What kind of valve is it? A "control" valve. What does it control? "Air". What kind of air? "Idle" air.
In order to assist technicians who are familiar with Saab terminology, there is a listing on the next page comparing previous Saab component and system terms with the equivalen SAE J1930 terms which are used in this book.

P.S.
Pheeeeeew. And there's next page to come. I hope I didn't miss nor add something wrong.
Btw, equivalen - is it correct form? I don't see any signs in the text showing that 't' was supposed to be there.
