Hello,

The service engine light comes on due an issue with one or more of the engine management sensors and components. It can also be triggered due an emission issue.
Unless the problem is fixed the light will come back on after you clear or reset it.

The best step would be to scan the vehicle for the trouble codes. That can tell you what might be the reason the light is getting triggered.

The code(s) can help with the diagnostics process.

Please let me know of any questions.
Thank you.
