Why would the service engine soon light come on in a 94 cutlass supreme?

If flashing - emergency conditions - do not drive without talking with service first. Could be loss of oil pressure.
If solid, important but not critical. Could be something as simple as a loose gas cap.
How many miles does your vehicle have on it. Check your owners manual or look online to see what the recommended service schedule is for your car. Most check engine lights are set by the factory to come on when a certain milage is reached. It may also be an indication that problems may exist with the engine and it is giving you an early warning. I would base it on mileage and how often have you kept up with regular servicing on the car.
THOUGH THE ABOVE COULD BE TRUE IF YOU HAVE AN AUTO ZONE WHERE YOU ARE LOCATED YOU CAN TAKE THE CAR TO THEM AND FOR FREE THEY CAN PULL THE CODES FROM IT USING A HAND HELD COMPUTER THING, I HAD TO HAVE IT DONE ON MY 94 CUTLASS SUPREME AND IT SAYS I NEED TO REPLACE THE CAMSHAFT CENSOR WHICH IS A FAIRLY INEXPENSIVE PART TO BUT BUT YOU HAVE TO ROTATE THE ENGINE TO REPLACE IT SO UNLESS YOU KNOW OR ARE A GOOD MECHANIC YOU'D BE BETTER OFF TAKING IT TO A BUSINESS MECHANIC TO HAVE IT REPLACED UNLESS IF YOU HAVE THE CODES PULLED AND IT IS SOMETHING ELSE. ANYWAYS GOOD LUCK AND I HOPE I WAS ABLE TO HELP YOU A LIL BIT.
It could mean a ton of things. If it flashes, a misfire is occuring, if its just steady, you need to take it to a car parts store and have them pull the error codes out for you, and then they can tell you what your computer says is wrong.
All good answers above, especially the one about autozone. The computer on any car uses this light to let the driver know that something is "wrong." It could be "anything." Autozone will test "if" that is where you are going to get the parts needed. It could be as simple as an oil change to needing an overhaul but the light is there to let you know that one day the car is not going to be there to get you anywhere, "if" you neglect the warning.

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!

92 olds cutlass supreme does service engine soon light need to be on to get codes --comes on then goes out?
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.
