I imagine the engine light is due to the harmonic balancer being out (best guess until I get it read) or possibly when the belt was squealing and running slow .. another system was affected and popped the light on.
Plausible?

I don't know what a Saab harmonic balancer looks like, but if something like this is going on, then yeah, you could be right.
