You can also disconnect the battery and that should reset your cmptr.
Read manual, but mainly you may take it to autozone ir equivalent and they will support reading the code. The owners manual says if Steady Light it is related to monitor fuel,ignition and emissions, sometimes a misplaced gas cap or if you changed gas octanage may cause the light on. If light is flashing it is a little bit more serious problem as misfires that can damag eengine
All the service soon light means is what it says, a service is due . check the drivers manual against the mileage, that is the service that should be performed. The mechanic will reset the light ,it will come on again when the next service is due.
I think the service light is interval based, and not actually measuring the state of oil/filters etc. a odb2 tool should be able to reset it

Did you put a multimeter on the coil and check for voltage coming out of the coil? To do this put the ground lead of the meter on the battery ground, then turn the ignition on and touch the positive lead of the meter to the coil. It should read around 12 volts.

It's possible that you have them improperly gaped causing a Firing problem, Or it could just be a coincidence that the light came on when you made the plug change. There are a lot of potential problems. Check the Firing order, Check the Plug Gap. Check to make sure the wires are all properly connected.
