A lot depends on your vehicle history, what kind of vehicle you have and what engine and transmission your vehicle is equipped with. If this information is not provided, it is hard to say what your vehicle needs at 100,000 miles.

Your engine computer has turned the Service Engine Soon light on because there is a malfunction in one of the many systems that are monitored by the computer. The only way to find out which one, or WHY the light is on, is to scan your engine computer to find out why it has turned the light on. There will be a fault code stored in your computer. This light coming on has very little to do with maintenance schedules. It has more to do with SYSTEM MALFUNCTIONS. (Although many system malfunctions CAN be prevented by performing the scheduled maintenance.)

Hi my 1997 nisan sentra has the service engine soon light on my mechanic says i may have to replace the timing belt soon is it worth it? i keep hearing a ticking sound and it only seems to be getting...
a timing belt change is not monitored by the service engine soon light.it comes on when the computer detects a problem and sets a code.the code will have to be pulled to know what area to start to diagnose.the ticking could be anything from low or dirty oil needing to be changed to the valves may need adjusting,even a worn or dry belt can make a ticking sound.you don`t say how many miles are on the car or if you have changed the timing belt.if the mileage is over 100,000 kil(60,000 miles) then it should be changed.

My Glante is going on 100,000 miles and the service engine soon light came on. Is this car going to start breaking down or is it solid? The car is an 2004.
100,000 miles is an expected lifetime for an engine and car. there is nothing odd about an engine needing some attention at that mileage, remarkable that no problem occurred before that mileage. take it to a shop which has a real analyzer or take it to a dealer and have them tell you what needs attention. the longer you put it off the more expensive it will be. be prepared for a new catalytic converter and exhaust system at a minimum.

2002 pontiac boneville sevice engine soon light stays om
hi what this is telling you is that you now need to get the vehicle serviced, what manufacturers do is put a certain amount of miles on the system before the next service is due, this will depend on how many miles before the next one, eg, if the manufacturer says that you have 12,000 miles between each service it will put 11,500 miles as a reminder, then when you get over the miles say 12,500 this will stay on until the service has been done and then the light is reset by the garage....hope this helps please rate and vote thanks

Service engine soon light on my 2002 nissan xterra came on at about 100,000 miles. What could be the cause
If it's the indicator that literally says "service engine soon", and not the check-engine light, then you have no worries. That's programmed to come on at set intervals to remind you that routine service may be due soon (oil change, inspection, tire rotation, etc). It's not an indication of failure. Failures will be shown by the check-engine light. That one is nothing to worry about. Your owner's manual should have a procedure to turn it off.

MAINTENANCE REPAIR ON HIGH MILEAGE NISSAN ALTIMA
Your vehicle’s computer system has self-testing capability. When the computer senses that there is a problem with one of the components or sensors it stores the correspondent trouble code(s) in its memory and lights up the "Check Engine" or "Service Engine Soon" light to tell you that there is a problem and you need to diagnosed and repaired it. Some problems are minor, but if not addressed it could become major. The list of possible codes number in the hundreds. The code itself doesn't tell exactly what component is defective - it only indicates where to look, or what engine parameter is out of normal range. You or a technician will have to perform further testing to pinpoint cause and the proper repair. Even if you reset the light, if the underlying problem is not addressed it will come back on.

Please let me know if this information is helpful. Positive feedback is appreciated. Thank You!
