servic eengine light stays on

The first thing you need to do is to have the computer scanned to see what codes are stored in the computer, the computer is always scanning the engine and sensors looking for defective readings and when it sees a bad sensor reading it will turn on the check engine light and store a code with the definition of the problem, the first step is to go an auto parts store that will scan the computer for free and see if they will give you a free print out of the codes or you can write them down, write me back with the codes and i will try to help you solve the check engine light , good dayl.

The check engine light can come on for over 150 things, from a sensor to a loose gas cap, you will need to have the codes scanned, the computer stores codes when it detects something not working correctly,there are many auto part stores that will scan it for free and give you a print out of the codes, if you can give me the codes i could help you find out why the engine light is on, good day.
