Just found this today. I am a tech at a vw/saab dealer and a nys vehicle inspector. I just found this tonight. i have been trying to get my moniters to set for the state test all week. According to this site the 96 850 turbo monitors are exempt. it only goes by the check engine light. the monitors reset everytime when the keys goes off. i have never heard of this on any car.i ve been doing inspections for years and never knew about this list. just thought others might like to know.
