The SERVICE light coming on, indicates a fault detected by the vehicles on board computer. The fault might be transmission related, or possibly engine/emission related. Push the OFF and WARM buttons TOGETHER on the climate control panel ( with the ignition key on ) Hold for 5 seconds and failure codes should appear . Relay your findings. Hope this helps

Yes there is a problem in one of the following systems or more than one or all three, the engine fuel controls, the emsssion system controls or the transmission controls. the number of faults that turn on a check engine light number in the 100's, so u will need to go to the dealer and have a check engine light trouble code test run to determin which system or systems is causing the problem that turned on the light..

2008 Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder - My service engine soon light just came on (again). I've recently replaced the gas cap and the light stayed off for 2 weeks. What other problems would cause the light to...

You first have to find out what the OBD II codes are by using a OBD II hand held machine that goes through the codes and lets you know what is coming up. There are like over 20 or more things why the engine light came on so please use the OBD II code sensor hand held device which will tell you off the bat the answer to why the engine light came on. You can go to advance auto parts and have them check that out for you at no cost.

Service engine soon light comes on my 2002 Buick Century that only has 54000 miles. What could this mean? Nothing seems wrong with the car. It is oiled regularly.

the service engine light means that the computer has detected that there is something wrong. it doesn't mean that it is anything serious. it could be something very simple. if you want to find out what it is exactly and avoid repair shop costs, take it to auto zone or another parts store. most of them have scanners that they will hook up and tell you why the light is on without charge.

Service engine soon light

Yes, it means it needs its routine periodic service. Not performing maintenance will inevitably lead to more expense.

Service engine soon light

an oil change will not turn the light off, this light means a fault has occurred in the electronic engine/emission controls, the easiest thing to do is go to any Kragen or Autozone part store and have them run a trouble code test,it is free, then post the code(s) back here on Fixya.

Light on dash states service engine soon

There is something wrong, they may not have had the correct equipment for your car. Even if they had the right scanner and it said nothing....means there is something wrong if the light is on. The computer doesn't put that light on for fun. I would try somewhere else, a lot of auto parts stores will check it for free.

How to service engine soon? sign apear in care

You have to take your car to a repair shop so they can connect a diagnostic tool to the cars computer. They will turn off the service engine soon light when they are finished. The light comes on automatically and does not mean something is wrong with your car. Good luck.Please rate me so I know how I'm doing. Thanks
