Chrysler Repair - 'service engine soon' indicator light

Expert: Roland Finston - 11/7/2009

Question
1999 Chrysler T%26C has service engine soon light on, is this light the same as a check engine? will this effect my emission test and how do i reset it?

Answer
Hi John,
If the light is below and slightly inboard to the oil pressure warning light then that is the malfunction indicator light and is the same at the check engine light which says that a fault has been detected in the powertrain and coded in the memory. Turn the ignition switch on-off-on-off-on and leave on, doing that in 5 seconds or less elapsed time. Then watch the odometer window to see if any 4-digit codes appear in place of the mileage reading.
Let me know if you find a code and we'll go from there.
Roland
