Is it possible to reset the 9000 malfunction warning light on my own?

While it’s sometimes possible to clear a malfunction warning light at home, it’s never recommended.

By simply resetting the check engine light, you may temporarily get rid of the light, but the underlying problem is still there. It will only be a matter of time before the light comes back.

What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 1996 Saab 9000

Your 9000’s drivetrain has a very important job. It transmits power from the engine to the wheels. It spans the full length of your Saab, from back to front. It’s one of your 9000’s most complex systems and includes everything after the engine transmission: axles, wheels, driveshafts, differentials, and joints. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 1996 Saab 9000, you help maintain your vehicle's power. You can minimize repairs by following Saab's recommendations for checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears.
