Service engine soon ? Do you mean SERVICE VEHICLE SOON Indicator
The amber SERVICE VEHICLE SOON indicator is an alert to the driver whenever there are specific current codes stored in the BCM or in the event of a loss of Class 2 serial data.
If your vehicle has a check engine light ,it doesn't have service engine soon .One or the other .
You need to hook up a scanner to the car and clear the code. They make cheap one if you do not have one. You can try to remove the battery cables for about 15 minutes and see if that will reset it but most times you need a scanner to reset the trouble codes. Good Luck
should have two lights check engine and service engine soon.check engine means there is a malfunction.service soon is reprogrammable,when you change you oil. check you owners manual for reset.
the light means there is a problem in he vehicle (not the engine) this could be like a bad bulb, abs unit airbag, gas gauge, tire pressure. scan the body contol module should tell you why the light is on.
just finisher an 02 with the same lights it was the lt front wheel sensor. the sensor is part of the wheel bearing. you should have someone with a scanner check it.gets expensive guessing.!!
did you try your reset button.these cars have a reset in the fuse box,located between the drivers door and dash after you pop that panel off just turn your key on then shut it off turn it right back on and hold the reset button first you will hear all the normal sounds.but dont let off the button till you hear the chimes.this is the same as when you have to reset you change oil light
I have had the same problem with my 96 aurora. I have a scan tool, but when this happened no codes were shown. My scan tool does not show codes for the Anti-Lock Brake system, or the Air Conditioner system. So, if your ABS light is on, its a problem with the ABS system, if not then there is a problem with the A/C system (which was my problem). There was a pressure sensor on the A/C system that was faulty (on the firewall up top in one of the A/C lines) The part was cheap around $15, but the system will **** out all the coolent as soon as the sensor is loosened or removed, so it should be drained, then have the sensor replaced and probably change the oil in the system at the same time so you dont end up with your A/C compressor succumbing to Black Death. Good luck, i hope this helps.
