My girlfriends moms 2001 Saab 9-5 V6 Turbo is throwing some dash light codes and I don’t know what they mean.
One is an exclamation point with a circle around it and the other one I can’t make out. Does anyone know what this means?
Can she drive the car home?
Hmm, it could be a few things. A lot of the times when the “!” light comes on the Saab Info Display (SID) will have a message like “COOLANT FLUID LOW” or “FRONT LIGHT FAILURE.” Make sure that doesn’t say anything, but if you have another light on the dash too that’s probably not going to apply.

It’s either the gearbox light which is the circle with the “!” in it and the gear looking thing around it. Or it could be the check engine light, which is the little picture of the engine right under the temp gauge. The gearbox light is to the right of the check engine light. It’s probably one of those if you can’t make out the little icon, because they are sort of strange. I would not drive the car, and I’d have it towed to a Saab specialist. These cars are finicky and if you continue driving them when they are trying to tell you something is wrong you’re just going to end up making your repair bill even bigger. Ask me how I know… Good luck!
