service engine does not have to be on. unless battery has been disconnected, all codes should still be in memory and you will be able to retrieve the codes. I had the same thing happen in my 96 cutlass, it was throwing a code every now and then. The service engine light would come on for a while then go away, however, the car did idle roughly but drove smoothly, after putting the code reader on I found that the cam positioning sensor was faulty. I replaced the sensor the car idled smoothly and the code went away. Hope this is helpfull to anyone.

Does 92 olds cutlass supreme hold history of codes will it tell why service engine light was on earlier?

unless the battery has been disconnected, a history of previous codes is retained in memory and you will be able to tell why your service engine light was on earlier. disconnecting the battery erases all codes - you would have to wait until service engine light comes on again to read any recent codes. good luck!
