Service engine soon light came on

I just bought a 2001 Saturn S series, auto 4-dr sedan and a little while after I got it the orange service engine soon light came on. What could cause this light to come on? The car's engine has been replaced shortly before I got it. Any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks starrface. I tried the gas cap, was not that, light still on. Now the change oil light is on, could that be causing the service engine light to come on?
    In the car manual, it says that it concerns emissions problems, time for regular routine servicing of car, etc. I will have my mechanic scan the car and see if it has a problem code. Thanks for your help.

    My engine service light just came on too. I've got an SUV, and I am completely reliant on it to get my three kids to all of their various activities and school. It's actually the only vehicle my husband and I have, so we can't have anything bad happen to it. Both of us should probably take our vehicles in to get maintenance done to them and the engine checked.http://www.jasonsautoservice.com/auto-se...

Many things can cause the service light to come on, check the gas cap make sure it seals, otherwise get it scanned,.

Service light is NOT a check engine light it is a required maintenance light that needs to be reset after maintenance

Service engine soon light on in 2001 Saturn s 1 with 90K. Gas cap was loose and was tightened. After about 3 cold starts, the light cleared. 2 days alter, it reappeared. Have an appt for a diagnostic,...

Of course until you retrieve the code you will not know what you are dealing with. You can get a free scan at most auto parts stores which may help you. If the engine is running perfectly and you see no drop in fuel mileage then I would not worry too much about the light and you can put off the repair.

I put gas in my 2001 Saturn and afterwards the service engine soon light came on. I checked the gas cap,but it did not go off. I just bought it a week ago, and it seems to run fine.

sometimes when the vehicle runs fine without any problems it is just something like an o2 censor you should take it to a local shop to get a diagnosis.

Go to your local autozone or advanced auto and they can check it for free. Ask for the code and then look it up on google for ways to fix what it is.
