Just bought an 02 9-3 SE
 

Hey I'm new, I just got a 2002 9-3 SE. (69K miles on the clock.) Any problem areas I need to be looking for? I will more than likely have many questions because the car needs a little bit of work. Just got a CEL, but the car runs fine. (I'm gonna take it to the local Saab shop to get it read. I am guessing its the o2 sensor.)

Take it to autozone, they read for free.

Will do.
(I just didn't know if there was a different type of scan tool needed.)
Is it a universal OBDII? Under the steering wheel? Or on the ECU box?

it's regular OBD2 scan tool. The only time you need a special tool is when you need to see what's in the TWICE or the ABS control module...and other parts not usually covered by OBD

Thanks for the help. Looks like working on this car will be easier than i thought.

I just got done building a Turbo Miata. (GT2860RS 260+ RWHP Bell Engineering setup)

Just moved on to something more comfortable and practical.

I had a twin turbo civic...for two weeks...and than got it totalled by a stupid deer. Although it's all for the good...
