Default SES Light and no Apparent Cause

Well I was driving home, no racing, shifting maybe around 3500 in the lower gears, easy driving. I looked down and saw the SES light was on. Not sure when it came on. No sounds, smells, and it idles fine. I did a through inspection of the engine compartment and found nothing. Checked the newly installed spark plug wires and none are loose. Checked the fuses, all are good. Engine temp is normal, oil pressure is normal.

Also, how much does it cost to read a code and is it safe to drive the car in the meantime?

Please post any useful info, thanks

Go to autozone. They will jack in and read the code for you free of charge and post the results.

It's a "service engine soon" light...not a "pull over and don't even think about driving" light. You'll be find drving for a while. As mentioned B4, go to autozone...it's free.

I believe Brake Check does it.
