Service vehicle soon light with oil change light?? any ideas? Heres my theory. My oil was changed, forgot to reset light for about 10-15 driving cycles now, so im thinking the car is saying please change the oil and put on the permenent service vehicle soon light, so now i just reset the oil light, i didnt start the car yet, so im not sure if its gonna say service vehicle soon, its stupid thought. Ill be heading off to the gym in a couple hrs, ill be back with an update whether the light comes on or not.

I've yet to see an SES light trip because the Change Oil light's been on. While you're out at the gym, swing by Autozone or some similar place and have them scan the code for you....

guys im not a rookiE! dont let the post count fool you 
. Yeah i know SES lights, my buddy has hp tuners, we are talking about the Service Vehicle Soon Light, not Service Engine Soon light, it is confusing because its rare that it comes up thats why im asking you guys about it. Ive done some searches and it seems like it comes on with a combination of 1 or more indicator lights, thats why my theory of the oil change light and it being together was about and i didnt get to the gym, but tommorow i will see if its on still. Either way this light is pretty stupid as it doesn't tell you crap about whats wrong.

UPDATE!! OK Guys you might wanna take note of this. Basically the light goes on for NON Emissions related stuff, remember that. I told you i reset the oil light yesterday, took it for a drive today, no service vehicle light. Basically The light will only pop on if your low on coolant, need an oil change and both these lights stay on for long periods of time, its kinda of a redundancy just in case you dont see the other lights or for whatever reason. So If the light comes on, its either because you have something up with the brakes maybe, abs, coolant low light has been on, oil change light has been on, a short somewhere in the ground. Everything is good now. But i know this subject is pretty fuzzy, but i figured it out.
