"SERVICE ENGINE SOON" when turning on the car?

AviD · 05-28-2007, 04:00 PM

I just got the car yesterday and i notice this signal light is on... is it normal? or I should bring it back and have them check out?

It's an emissions problem. Nothing big unless the light starts flashing. You need to take it in and get it fixed though.

That's normal. It's letting you know that the DME is being read and is functioning.
