Saab 2003 9-3 2.2 TiD new style is it OBD2 does anyone know?

I believe all cars sold in the US of model year 1996 and newer require OBDII. (I'm not positive of this.)

I used to own a 1995 Saab 900SE turbo convertable, and still own a 1995 Lincoln Town Car. In CA both of these cost me extra with biannual smog checks because they were OBDI...which meant they do not monitor gas tank fuel recovery, and extra steps are needed to verify the vapor recovery system on each still works, to the tune of an extra $25 above regular smog check prices.

My newer cars ('98 Chevy S10 pickup, '02 Ford Explorer) are both OBDII, do NOT cost me extra on smog checks, and I can use relatively cheap OBDII diagnostic meters to extract and reset "check engine" codes.

From that I'm pretty sure yours is also OBDII. If so, there should be a diagnostic port (looks like a computer cable socket) below the steering column, or a label there saying just where the OBDII connector IS located. (That's an OBDII requirement, standardization not only of the connector and codes, but also where the connector is located.)

Hope that helps, Paul.
