SOURCE: reset service engine soon light 2004 ford mustang

It is not recomended to disconnect the battery and turn the light switch or horn or anything else on in order to clear codes stored in memory because any settings stored in the computer may be lost too.Go to autozone and rent the scanner to do it yourself.It is very easy,just connect the scanner to the connector located below the dashboard, turn the ignition on but not the engine and follow the prompts then when it says: clear codes?hit yes or enter and that is it.This is the safest way to do it.

SOURCE: Service Engine Soon light came on

This means it's time for a service..But have it diagnosed with a computer and maybe sometimes resetting it solves this problem.If the light comes back again then you need a servicing of the engine.

SOURCE: how to clear code service engine soon 2002

you need to use an OBDII scan tool that will read any "error" codes and give you the system that will be causing the check engine light to come on. this tool will also allow you to erase the code after you have read it. write the code down as you may have to pinpoint exactly what part may have failed and needs replacing. something as simple as a loose gas cap will cause the check engine light to come on. it could be any of a dozen different emission or ignition sensors that may be bad depending on the error code. all 1996 and newer vehicles sold in the US will have the OBDII system and standard diagnostic/data link connector,which is usually under the driver side of the dash, to plug the scan tool into to read the DTC's(diagnostic trouble codes).

Mercedes e350 2009 current mileage 81K, check engine light is in yellow. The service due in 25 days. Could it be set up at previous service that some engine service is recommended at 80K miles?

Hi,
The service will be due at a certain mileage OR a certain date, whichever comes FIRST.
So if the service book says it should have an 80,000 mile service, that has come first, before the calendar schedule.
It's a yellow warning light, which is a 'first-stage' light. A red light is a problem, a yellow one is just a reminder/warning.!
It's safe to drive it, but get it in for it's service as soon as you can as its now over the scheduled service period.
Best of luck.

Service engine soon light on took to parts store misfire #4 cylinder replaced plugs and wires should i clear code by taking ground wire off battery or wait for light to go off

Hi Jeff:
I'm a results oriented kind of guy so I's want to know if the fix worked. I'd use the approved "code clearing procedure" so that if the problem was not corrected, the service engine light would come back on and tell me.
Cheerfuls!

I have a 2003 Ford Explorer. Recently I noticed thsat a warning light "Service Engine Soon" illuminated on my dash and wont go away. I've never seen this before and Ive owned the car since 2003. What'

Hi Dennis
The light is warning you that there is a problem with the Engine management system, I cannot and no one else online can tell you what the problem is. But I can advise you to take your car to a workshop and have it scan, the technician will tell you.

Good luck

Clear service engine soon

You should find out what service is needed and have it done. If you dont the service needed if not done may cause your Explorer to quit running unexpectantly. FYI.

On initial startup unit runs good. After unit starts to warm up with defroster running engine service soon light comes on and stays on? Any ideas?

That's just a service reminder light. Usually indicating it's due for a particular service at a specified mileage. Any good shop or parts store can reset that for you.

Service engine soon after a transmision problem repair

These two events are probably not related. The serviceengine-soon light just means that the vehicle mileage is approaching a service interval.

The concept is when this comes on the vehicle is taekn to the shop for its routine service and the mechanic resets the light.

If you have an owner's manual you'll find the service intervals -- the mileage is approaching one of those intervals.
