The service engine soon light indicates you have a problem with the engine management system.The only way to get it to stay off is to lacate and repair whatever is not working correctly. Requires very specialized equipment. Take it to your mechanic.

WHY DOESNT MY 2003 CADILLAC SEVILLE HAVE ANY POWER AND DOESNT WANT TO SHIFT EASILY

1. Verify the exhaust system is not plugged. Check for less than 1.5 PSI backpressure at 2,000 RPM in park, or open the exhaust before the converter.

2. Check the Manifold Absolute Pressure Sensor (MAP) for 4.8-5.0 volts Key On Engine Off (KOEO) and about 1 volts at idle.

3. Check actual engine vacuum at idle at 2000 RPM.

4. Unplug the Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor, reset fuel trim to 0%, and road test. ALSO CHECK FOR FAULT CODES IN THE OBD SYSTEM.

What does the "service engine now" light mean?

Keep in mind that two warning there, Check Engine and Service Engine Soon; Check Engine means there is a malfunction... Service Soon is reprogrammable, when you change you oil.

"Check Engine" are refer to the emission codes, but not always. I suggest visit some autozone ot autoshop with scan tools or "reader code" to know exactly what fault code is stored there. With this code number we could send you additional details.

Hope this helps; also keep in mind that your feedback is important and I'll appreciate your time and consideration if you leave some testimonial comment about this answer.

Thank you for using Fixya, and have a nice day.

After filling the gas tank on my 2001 Cadillac Seville STS, the "check engine soon" light came on. I took the gas cap off and re-tightened it. The light is still on.

The fact that the light came on has nothing to do with filling your tank. The light is pre-programmed to come on following a combination of time, mileage and on some makes the usage profile, and it's telling you to get the engine serviced soon. After the service, the vehicle will need to be connected to a suitably-equipped computer to have the service light indicator reset. If you check in your Cadillac owners' handbook, the service section will give you details of which service items need to be attended to at the age and mileage of your vehicle. If it's just a simple oil and filters service then you may decide that you can do this yourself easily and save money. If there's more to the job, you can decide what you're comfortable doing yourself and then get a garage to do the rest: the less you leave to the garage, the lower the bill.

Ignoring the light will simply mean that your engine eventually has a breakdown which can be extremely expensive.

The light on just means you are not passing emissions. not a big deal unless it's flashing.
Go to Autozone, they will scan test for codes for free.

Speedometer not working service engine soon light on

I would guess there is a relation between the inop speedo and the service soon light being on. Push OFF and WARM on the climate control panel and hold down together for 5 sec to read codes.engine and transmission require speed input to set engine/trans parameters accordingly. The car car is safely performing in a back up mode until repairs are made
