SERVICE ENGINE SOON
I have a 2001 Dicovery with 41K miles, my service engine soon light came on over the weekend...
Do I need to have it serviced or does anyone know a trick to get the message to go away? It runs great and I don't think there is anything wrong with it...
Of course it isn't under warranty...

RE: SERVICE ENGINE SOON
it is probably just a reset problem. It is always good to have it checked. Many places can check it, and give you the problem or at least a direction to look. As long as the service and all maintanence is up to date, you will most likely have nothing but a reset problem. Others in the forum have answered similar questions. Take a look around and see what you think. Got to love a rover, duboff

RE: SERVICE ENGINE SOON
i am not sure how the guy at auto zone did it
but last week when i was trying to fihure out that my plug wires were bad
i had auto zone and o'reillys check it out and both places were able to turn the light off
it came back on both time after xause i hadn't fixed the problem
and after i had the new wires put on at a local garage
they turn the light off also, im sure there computer is a little better than a auto house
anyway i am not sure how but i am 100% sure they did, they neven told me they could do it.

RE: SERVICE ENGINE SOON
Hey all, new to this forum after another one closed down...LOL. Anyway, I had the SES light come on and go off...thought it was possibly a fuel vapor issue. However, took it to the LR dealer, now, I purchased an extended warranty and I've only got 50k miles on it so, thinking I was covered for the deductible, I got a call from the service writer...it was the Mass Airflow Sensor...doesn't seem noticeable. You may look in that direction as well.

RE: SERVICE ENGINE SOON
OK....SES light or service engine soon light is only an emmisions reminder. It is set to go on at a certin point in time. Dealer will do a service the reset the light. This has nothing to do with the Check Engine Light, the SES can be reset by you thru a relay under glove box. Check Enging Light means you have a problem.
