2001 cheve venture (service engine soon) trouble light on

Service engine soon or check engine light? Engine light needs scanned for codes. Service engine soon is for oil changes and such. To get rid of service lights, turn the key on, press the gas pedal three times within five seconds. The light will flash. turn the key off. it's reset. At least check or change the oil and filter though.

I think that is scan tool only but most mechanics have the scanners these days so it will be a lot cheaper to go to your local mechanic instead of the dealer. It prob wasn't reset last service if the light wasn't on at time of service.

thats a maintenance light either oil change /spark plugs or air filter or trannsmission oil

The service engine soon light indicates a problem.
Take the vehicle to AutoZone and have them read the computer code.
They can give you an idea of what the problem is and reset the light for you.
BTW the service is free

Its telling you that you have a recommended service coming up at 30K miles. The dealer will reset the light when you bring the car in. Nissan recommends you to do your maintence's every 7500 miles. A 30K service will consist of an oil change, change air filter, coolant flush, replace PCV valve, in cabin air filter, along with checking many other systems in your vehicle. Hope this helps.

It simply means that the service indicator was not reset when the oil was changed. If the oil was changed professionally, then resetting the service indicator is usually part of the job.

It's not just a reminder to change the oil, it's also there to remind you to check/adjust/lubricate/replace other items such as the air filter, oil filter, spark plugs, fuel filter, dampers (UK=shock absorbers) etc.

The service indicator is simply a dumb counter keyed to mileage and time elapsed and cannot sense when you have completed a service. Resetting the indicator requires a special tool so you'll need to take your car to a suitably equipped garage.

The computer probably needs to be reset. there is a procedure for it somewhere but the quick easy way is to just disconnect the battery for a few minutes, This usually resets the computer and solves intermittant issues. Also, the air conditioning may be as simple as replacing the cabin air filter. My 2000 Lincontinental had the same issue only it would blow hot air. A local ripoff mechanic charged me 250.00 to look at the a/c after he cut a line into and had to replace it at my cost. he said I needed a new system for $1700.00. I walked away without using his "service" Later I checked the air cabin filter and found it was completely clogged. I replaced it for $30.00 and the air started blowing cold immediately. The cabin air filter is located under the hood. The plastic trim that is under the windshielf wipers has air channels in it. On the left side is where the cabin air filter is located. The best way to do it is to get someone else to change it at one of these quick lube places.

Is it the "oil change req." light? Your owners manual will have the process for reseting the oil change light.
If it is "service engine soon" light, the vehicle will need to be scanned with a professional scanner.

THE OIL CHANGE INDICATOR WILL NOT CAUSE THE SES LIGHT TO COME ON.THEY MAY HAVE LEFT SOMETHING DISCONNETED NEAR THE AIR CLEANER HOUSING WHEN CHECKING THE FILTER.IF NOT HAVE CODE READ(SHOP/PARTS STORE)

How do you turn off or reset the "Service Engine Soon " light off without taking my Infinity I35 to dealer. Trying to avoid $200.00 dealer charge!
