The Check Engine light was constant - but when I braked the engine cut. Saab fixed it the same day, they said that in my case it was som problems with the turbo (if I remember correct) and due to that the car goes in a limp home mode. They fixed the problem, upgraded the software in the car and took the car out of limp home mode. It all cosed me about $100 Regards Tore
