Service engine soon ? Do you mean SERVICE VEHICLE SOON Indicator
The amber SERVICE VEHICLE SOON indicator is an alert to the driver whenever there are specific current codes stored in the BCM or in the event of a loss of Class 2 serial data.

If your vehicle has a check engine light ,it doesn't have service engine soon .One or the other .

    You would need a factory or someother type professional scan tool to read BCM - body control module codes .

    This vehicle does have both a check engine light and service engine soon light. The check engine light and change oil light went off when I changed the oil. The service engine light is still on.

SOURCE: how to reset the "service engine soon" light on a 2001 pontiac grand prix gt

you can go to advance auto and use there scanner for free to clear the code its called an obd2 connection or when you disconnect your battery you can touch your black negative cable to your red positive cable that connects to the battery and it will completley drain everything and reset but warning you if your trying to get the car through emissions your gonna have to drive the car 50 or 100 miles after you disconnect the battery each time..

SOURCE: service engine soon light on a 2000 cadillac seville

The service engine soon light indicates you have a problem with the engine management system.The only way to get it to stay off is to lacate and repair whatever is not working correctly. Requires very specialized equipment. Take it to your mechanic.

SOURCE: Service Engine Soon light reset.

The Service Engine Soon light comes only when the engine computer control unit (called the PCM) senses a fault in the electronic controls of the engine and/or the emission system, it is not related to the oil change, there are about 200 possible faults that turn the light on, to know what has developed a problem you must have the system tested, this is called an OBD2 fault code test, Kragen and Autozone parts stores do this testing for free.


Testimonial: "Thanks! I guess the person that told me it was an oil change light was not quite up to speed. I'm off to AutoZone."

How to clear 2000 pontiac grand am "service engine soon" light

Normally you would have it scanned find out what the problem is and fix it then with the same scanner erase the code which would turn off your light but if you dont fix the problem the lights just going to come back on.There are two ways to clear the codes the best is with the scanner the other is disconnecting the battery for a couple of minutes.

Just bought a 2000 pontiac Gt with 110000 miles on it two days ago. Ive driven it 137 miles before the service engine soon light came on. What do you think it is

The service engine light is usually a flag for an oil change or other maintenance item. If it is reset, it will come back on in 5000 miles as a reminder to change the oil. Ask your dealer's service department how to reset the indicator and do it when you change your oil. I know for Saturn, the proceedure is Turn the key to the on position without starting the engine and within 5 seconds press the accelerator pedal all the way to the floor 3 times. Not sure if it will be the same for the Pontiac, but you could give it a try.

Service engine soon light is on in my 2000 Grand am GT would could this mean? Just had an oil change and new air filter put in

Unfortunately, this could mean just about anything, however, it is probably emissions related, or a faulty sensor to that degree, or even a loose connector to when the airfilter was replaced. The easiest and most prudent measure is to have the car read with a OBDII scanner, and can even be done free at Autozone, etc.

My change oil light never goes off even though I had it changed and now my service vehicle soon light is on even though its been running fine

The change oil light needs to be reset after each oil change...some shops are not knowledgeable on how to do this...Your owners manual will instruct you how to reset the oil change light...The service engine soon is a catch all for low fluids and other needs...Be sure to check your oil level again...to clear the service engine soon light, you can disconnect either battery cable for 15 minutes then reconnect...if the service engine stays on...then you need to have your Grand Am checked...Auto Zone does a free diagnostic of check engine light codes...:)

Sevice Vehicle Light

The service vehicle is not the same as the service engine light in that the service vehicle light has to do with the body control module,(BCM).You have to get the codes read for the BCM and any other module with the scan tool.I`m not sure if Auto Zone can read the BCM codes.Not all scan tools are able to read all the modules in a vehicle.Hope this helps.Good luck.

I have a pontiac Grand Am GT 2000...My check engine light is staying on and now is my engine service soon light. What is the cause for this? I get oil changes on a regular basis and when I do the lights...

The best Idea for your situation is to bring it to a Autozone store and have them hook the scan tool up to the vehicle and they can tell you what is possibly wrong with it. I myself have the same model and year vehicle so please feel free to contact me if you get lost in fixing it.
