I don't know about yours, but my 2000 does the same and it it usually because I didn't tighten the gas cap after filling up, and on occasion it did't go out until I changed brand.

The computer turns on the check engine light in hopes that you'll check the engine codes. It means something is wrong. Use an engine diagnostic scanner to find out what it is. It's easy to do and you can usually borrow one from your local auto parts retailer, they'll often help you figure out what it all means.

Wrong scanner?? If a check engine light is on, there are codes. Timing sensor? Check engine usually means a problem... Service means that scheduled service needs to be performed like oil change, or timing belt replacement. I would Check your Catalytic Converter. What often happens is the catalyst that is in the Catalytic converter Heats up and Blows out into your Muffler. This means It is not the sensor,but your converter and Muffler Need Replaced.I have just fixed two cars with this problem,and they had the same symptoms,Check engine Light.
