2008 Bmw 128 service engine soon light will not turn off. Drives fine

Any idea how critical this is? My vehicles warranty expired 2 months ago. I have 28k miles on the car.

You have a check light on !!


Surely you know that you have
to check for codes, to even get pointed in
some direction

You don't ever drive more than one day without
checking for codes & if you can't have the car completely
repaired in a week, you don't use it until you can.

SOURCE: 2000 bmw 323i service engine soon light code =

you can buy a cheap scanner that will put this light out,i have a mechanic working for me that stands on the roof ,tweeks the radio and has one foot on the brake whilst turning on the lights and he puts out nearly every service light you can think of but he wont show anyone least of all me,but if it its a 99 model iam sure you can put the light out by using a 12v electrical screwdriver with the light inside and a cable comes out the end with a clip .then going across the pins on the special BMW connector block it will go out with the resistance of the bulb across it ,but ??big but ?does it have an OBDII connector or the round BMW type because we dont have OBDII on pre 2005 cars here in spain .Now we do and guess what ??its all encrypted software used ...makes me a dinasaur

SOURCE: repair or item list for 50k mile service for my 06 530i

Probably the pollen filters as well, brake fluid and anti freeze. If this is your last free service with the dealer it pays to ask them if you can check the service schedule list for your car.

2007 Hyundai Sante Fe...flashing dash indicator lights intermittently. Two nights ago service engine soon light came on. Car slowed to 20 MPH. Checked voltage of alternator and battery, both fine.

service engine soon ??? This has to do with the vehicles emissions When this light comes on it means your vehicle is polluting 1 & 1/2 times greater then the EPA allows . DTC'S - diagnostic trouble codes are stored in the engine computer . The light is a warning to the driver to take your vehicle to a qualified repair shop.

Service Engine Soon is illuminated.

if you just had the oil and filter changed..the technician did not reset the alert in the cars command module..therefor the check engine light will come on until this alert is removed from the start up sequence in the cars' computer.. get that done and it should be fine..

Temperature light came on...what to do or what does it mean????

Generally the temp light means the engine is too hot assuming its the light for the engine.
Check the fluid level in the radiator and the overflow tank, and see if the radiator fan runs when the engine warms up.
Could be a problem with the thermostat too if the engine is running hot.

Service engine soon

hi, this is just a reset issue. sometimes the CPU can become confused. the original warning that informed you about your gas cap is still in the cpu's memory. you will have to reset the cpu and, this will clear the warning. After the reset, it will stay off. chevy cpu's tend to do this from time to time.

Oem code p2716

It can all be explained here: http://matrixowners.com/tsb/T-TC014-06.pdf

BOTTOM LINE: TAKE IT TOYOTA BEFORE THE WARRANTY EXPIRES @ 80,000 MILES OR 8 YEARS OF OWNERSHIP.

I had mine taken care of today free of charge, and hassle free, thanks to the service crew at Condit's Toyota.
