Does the engine need servicing? The service engine soon light will only comes on if there is a problem. It will not come on if the bulb is burned out. Or. If there are no issues.

it means the engine needs to be servised it works on milage traveled

this could be anything from a losse petrol cap, to a loose vaccuum line, or a fault with a sensor...or womething else...very hard to diagnose without the error code number...which the engine computer logs when the light comes on......you need to take the vewhilce to a mechanic, or auto-zone on the us who will read the codes for you...this will give you the directioin to which will find the answer

this is your check engine or service engine soon light or mil {malfunction indicator lamp} your ecm has detected a fault in the systems it monitors and should have a diagnostic trouble code stored you will need to hook to a scanner /code reader and read codes this will tell reason light came on and loss of power if you have a auto zone nearby they provide this service free of charge

have the codes scanned (most parts stores will do this for free) then cleared but if you just clear the codes it probably just come back on there a reason why that light comes on need to fix the problem

my galant does the same thing i was told its the 02 senors

i would start by taking it to autozone and having them read the trouble codes that are in your car. they offer this service for free. You can then go ahead and fix the problems. It could just simply be that you did not put the gas cap on all the way the last time that you filled up the tank.

I need a radio code for my 2000 mits. galant. what do i do w/out paying 75 bucks for it. where do i find it?? is it somewhere in the car???

it mearns that the computer is sensing a failure. You will need to see if it has logged any codes, and troubleshoot from there. You can go to many auto parts suppliers (autozone, ect) and many will read the codes for you, or you can purchase code reader and do it yourself
