Reset the error codes in the OBD computer. Autozone will read the error code(s) out for you for free and reset the OBD2 in your vehicle. The Service Engine Soon (SES) light came on because a sensor somewhere detected an out of tolerance condition. If this happens, the on-board diagnostics stores an error code (or possibly multiple codes), which illuminates the "Service Engine Soon" light. Resetting the codes will turn off the light, but may be only temporary. If the out of tolerance condition recurs, the code will again be stored and the SES light will light. You need to correct the underlying problem, which the code will help indicate. Some conditions, such as a random misfire, will clear on their own after 5 or 10 engine starts without the misfire. If this starts happening, it is time for a tune up - new spark plugs, fuel filter, air filter, etc. Editted the above, and added the following... Depending on your area, you can go to your local AutoZone, and they can sometimes reset your light. But in some areas, laws wont allow them too. My local AutoZone is like this, but if you hold their little code scanner, and ask them which buttons to press to reset it, its you that reset it and not them. Some will do this, but not all. Disconnecting the battery on a 1996 or newer vehicle no longer works for GM.
