There is a CEL, Check Engine Light, on the 1989 Thunderbird.
The Check Engine light comes on when the ECU detects something is wrong with the emissions system on the vehicle. You will need to have the ECU scanned with an OBD2 scan tool. The Maintenance Required light comes on to alert you to the fact that some scheduled maintenance, as outlined in your owners manual, is due. It can be as simple as an oil change or can be something else. Look in your owners manual to find out what service is needed.
there is a code set by the cars computer. you need to have the car scanned to see what the code is. alot of the times getting gas while the car is running can set a check engine lite. There is a difference between the service indicator light (yellow) and the check engine light (red). Also, to those people who say check the manual, we did. The manual gives the smallest description in the book for this light. It says to see the dealer service department. It doesn't give any examples as to what the problem could be.
The service engine soon is the same as a check engine light. It has nothing to do with an oil change.
