If the service light comes on it usually mean there is maintenance needed to be done elsewhere than the engine. Try making sure all your lights work including break lights, turn signals head lights, parking lights, etc.
No.
Service required is the oil change reminder. Service engine soon would be the check engine light.
If it is easy, your gas cap is not on correctly.
Many different things you need to take it in to a auto zone parts store and they will put a scanner on it for free and give you the codes it has stored and how to fix it.
Reasons the service engine light does not come on: The bulb is burned out. I would suspect this first. There is a wiring problem. The engine control module is bad.
That is one of many possible causes.
A Service Engine light and a Check Engine light have the same purpose - to alert the driver that a malfunction has been detected by a sensor(s). It would behoove you to take your vehicle to an auto parts store (AutoZone or similar) that does free scans and have the touble code(s) retrieved to find what made the light come on. Some manufacturers call it a Check Engine light and others call it a Service Engine light, but as mentioned above they serve the same pirpose. I don't think your vehicle would have it labeled both ways.
No it will not.
Could be a wiring issue or a completely different problem.
My service engine soon light came on a day two ago, I have driven the car about 20 miles since it came on. Today, the light just went out. The vehicle is running good. What would cause the light to come on, and why would it just go out on its own?
TRY CHECKING TO SEE IF YOU HAVE A HIGH BEAM HEADLIGHT OUT. tHIS WILL CAUSE THE PROBLEM YOU HAVE.
Low coolant would be because the coolant is low or the sensor has failed, Check engine light would be because the computer has detected a problem and set a code.
