You need to get the oil and filters changed.Then reset the light.You dont have to have a major service. So just ask the garage to do the above.Other wise they will con you into a major service and rip you off.Take care.Good luck.

It could be almost anything. Have the codes read at a reputable garage.

I have a 2003 Buick Rendevous. My service vehicle soon light is on. I just bought it and the guy that sold it to me said that he didn't find anything wrong and this light didn't affect the engine in...

your vehicle has two lights..one is a service engine soon and the other is a service vehicle soon,if the S.V.S light is on..its most likely an abs problem and it needs to be scanned or your alternator might not be charging and the system voltage is a little too low for some things to operate correctly,either way the car needs to be scanned and/or have the charging system checked,hope this helps

I have a 2001 Oldsmobile Alero. What does it mean when the anti brake light, service engine soon, and traction off light comes on at the same time?

I am assuming its not the service engine soon light it is probably the service vehicle soon light, There are 2 lights service vehicle soon upper left side, and service engine soon upper right side.

When all these come on at the same time it is the wheel bearing sensor. Usually the wheel bearing needs to be replaced which houses the sensor. A sure way to check is to press your sls button by your shifter and see if the light goes out, If it does not, u will need to have a wheel bearing put in.

Service engine soon light came on and later that day turned off

The reason for the light to come on an the after you have switched the vehicle off and back on again and the engine light stays dead is because the control units of the vehicle will reset when the ignition is switched off for 10sec. If the light stays off the it might be that the car got a wrong reading from a sensor and caused the engine light to come on. If it was a serious problem the light would have come on again

Mitsubishi Outlander 2003 Service Engine Soon

You'll need to know why the service engine light comes on, they can check this by using a OBD II diagnostic tool to find the trouble code stored in the pcm, ask them to run a check on it, or you can take it to a mechanic before you buy it to have them check over the vehicle for any minor or major problems.

Non emission issue

Your vehicle is sensing some sort of non-engine fault. In most cases, I have found it to be a burned up light bulb.

2002grand am daytime running lights

99 - 04 grand am.

I had the "service vehicle soon" light come twice with in 1 year. First the heald light bulbs were gone. Replaced the head light bulbs and after 2 starts the "service vehicle soon" light was gone.

The second time the DRL - #194 amber bulbs were gone. Replaced these and the "service vehicle soon" light was gone after 2 starts. The DRLs are housed in the headlamp housing, the tiny bulbs beside the head light.
