Check your fluid levels, and if all is topped up, and everything sounds and feels normal, drive away.
You can drive your car with the yellow 'service engine' light on the dashboard, but it is not recommended. This light warns you of the need to have the engine serviced.
By having the problem that tripped the light repaired.
if your take it to a autozone tell them you have a check engine light and they will tell you whats wrong if anything and reset it take it to autozone and tell them your check engine light is on and they should reset it
To reset the service light on a 1999 Nissan Altima first pop the hood of the vehicle open. Prop the hood up and locate the battery, then proceed to disconnect the negative battery terminal for five seconds. The ECU should reset turning off the check engine light.
You can drive the car but should have the vehicle checked soon as possible. BUT if the service engine soon light is flashing, stop the vehicle when it is safe to do so then shut off the engine immediately. If you continue to drive the vehicle with the service engine soon light flashing you will do catastrophic damage to the catalytic converter(s).
If it is a SERVICE engine in most cases is a factory, Matinence reminder(change oils fluids, tune up, ect...), In some it could be a engine emissions problem, Bet normly that turns on a CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. hope that helps !! C-YA

2001 missan altima emgine runs stall at a traffic light but engine does not cut off.
The service engine light is the same thing as a check engine light.
You will have to drive it until it comes on.
It usually means that the computer has detected a fault with one of the engine components. Connect it to a code scanner to see what the fault is or take it to a shop.
That depends on the reason why it's coming on.
