I went down to Swedish Day and spoke to Joe, the mechanic who is doing theMOT and service next week.  He suggested that I shouldn't rule out a poor connection, so I went out to try and locate the connector on the front edge of the fuel tank.  I think i have found it, but I'm not sure.  It will only be readily accessible by removing the under tray and getting under the car.  The connector I have found looks exposed and ripe for a poor connection, but although it's in the right place and the blue/white wire in the end corner pin looks OK, there is no wire in the the adjacent hole.  Which is not matching the wiring diagram in WIS.

I won't have time to do a full check as I'm quite busy between now and the MOT time.  As long as the car passes, I will deal with it later. Get the car in the air and do the undersealing at the same time.  It looks like the underseal is needed

Those connectors are actually qute good at keepng water out, if I recall correctly, they look very similar to the OG9-5 connectors for the Lambda sensors & CPS

Can Joe just pull the connector off while it's being examined for the MOT. It'll save getting the lift equipment out for you, at least for that job.

He probably could, but I'm planning to get under and apply a full underseal later.  Just no time this month for a longer job.  I won't be starting it before I get back from Trollhättan on 10th June.

The issue has been a bit more difficult today.  I cleared the codes on Friday.  OH has been using the car while I've been at Saab meets on Saturday and Sunday.  There's no code come back yet.  Not even a Pending code, and they were coming back almost immediately last week :roll:  Just a wait and see now.  The last time the codes went off for a period, it was two years before they returned...

In that case I think you should consider staying in the passenger seat  ;)

Alas, after two days, the light is on again. :(

No time to try any other options at the moment.  Busy tomorrow, then away for the weekend followed by a funeral in Leicester on Monday. Then to the garage on Tuesday for the MOT on Wed, followed by a fix there on the 9-5 on Thursday. family come to us the next weekend for Bank Holiday.  Then just a quick week before the trip to the Saab Museum Festival... and she still needs to use the car in the odd gaps in my schedule!!
