They are one and the same. The check engine light is indicating that the computer has detected a problem. If the check engine light is flashing, it is a serious emissions problem and you need to have it checked immediately, otherwise the catalytic converter will be damaged.

What does service b mean

The A service and B service is an oil change and a long list of inspections. Unless the service is covered under warranty, or this is a new car and you want some piece of mind, I suggest only getting the oil change.

Also if the battery is got very old,then try with new battery.

Purchased focus sport 2006 model no service manual. Mileage 43,000 kms. Need to know service intervals either time/mileage perhaps a copy of the service schedule will suffice.

These maintenance intervals come from the maintenance interval calculator
at www.autozone.com, using a starting point of 25,800 miles (43000 km), and
assuming 1000 miles (1666 km) driven per month, and "severe driving conditions," which
are actually normal usage characteristics, such as frequent short trips, urban driving, waiting in traffic, driving in hot weather, trips under 16 km in cold weather, etc.

Take your car to an autozone store and have it scanned to determine what the issues are and then have it cleared. THat should turn off the light for a time. Then drive it immediately to be inspected.

What is required in the service of a 3.0l subaru liberty at 100000kms?

your owners manual will tell you exactly. usually all filters should be changed (oil, air, auto transmission if equipped, fuel, cabin air etc) as well as spark plugs and wires, distributor cap and rotor if equipped, check the belts and hoses as well as the charging system. All fluid levels should be checked and topped off. Check your tire p.s.i. as well.
