Wayne Powell m , The SES light could be on because of an emission related fault. You can retrieve the codes with out going any where as your car is able to decipher why engine light is on by following the instructions in your manual or from the links below. 1st link can tell you what the code/s are also, after you have retrieved them.
ECM Diagnostics/ECM Reset procedure:
- Sit in the driver's seat.
- Turn the ignition key to the ON position and wait three seconds. (Do not start the car.)
- Fully depress and release the accelerator pedal five times in less than five seconds.
- Wait exactly seven seconds. Fully depress the accelerator pedal for ten seconds until the SES light flashes.
- Release the accelerator pedal and start counting flashes to obtain the four-digit trouble code.
Long flashes (0.6 seconds) indicate the first digit of the code; count the blinks one through nine and write down the first digit. (Ten blinks indicates zero.)
The next three digits follow in turn in the same fashion except with faster blinks (0.3 second) and a 1.0-second pause between digits.
Use the link's below for more explanation if needed and if need be, some of the auto parts suppliers offer free code reading like Pepboys, Nappa, Advanced auto parts,etc and some of the guys are very knowledgeable and may have seen the issue often and put you on the right track. Good luck.
