Service engine soon light came on what does it mean
I have the same car and if the gas cap is loos for any reason the service engine light will come on so check that. If it is it will turn off in a few days after you tighten it.
You probably just need an oil change.

The service light means something is wrong with the car and it needs attention now. Get the codes checked and that will tell you what is wrong with it.

"...should not have to have to deal with these issues"
Agreed! But, there seems to be a glitch involving the ABS and TRAC system. On my 99 GAGT, when the eng and tranny are cold, I tend to get an ABS fail during turn/brake instances. If I restart the engine, it generally goes away. I've done a bit of research and have found nothing that fives a definitive answer to this. If you take it to the dealer, it will cost an arm and a leg for the troubleshooting alone. I'd recommend driving it as is provided you can get the ABS to reset by restarting the engine.
Sorry I can't provide any better solution...

The service engine soon light is an indicator /reminder for you to do some type of maintanence work on your vehicle, depending upon your mileage that you have accumulated on your car dictates the sort of maintanence needed on the car.
Can either be as simple as an oil change or as complicated as a major service/tuneup, oil change, transmission change, wheel alignment, brake inspect, tire rotation etc.
Once the work is performed the technician must turn off the light.
Reference the dealership or reliable repair shop for further information.

Normally you would have it scanned find out what the problem is and fix it then with the same scanner erase the code which would turn off your light but if you dont fix the problem the lights just going to come back on.There are two ways to clear the codes the best is with the scanner the other is disconnecting the battery for a couple of minutes.
