My service engine soon light came on while driving and I detect no other problems.

Is it just a reminder for regular service or does it indicate something more serious?

Can I drive the car safely or do I need to get it checked out asap?

Thank you.

could be both actually, but I think that it may be something occuring, probably low fluids or a sensor malfunction, best thing to do is take it to autozone or your local parts place for a free computer scan. Most shops and dealers will easily charge you a hundred dollars for this service. If you need additional help, just write back and let me know what the scan codes are and I'll take care of it. and thank you for visiting us.
