1998 ford windstar 3.8 minivan. whats the difference between "check engine" versus "service engine soon". the service engine soon light stayed on for aprox 20 mins until i parked the vehicle and the next day i cranked it up the service engine soon light was off. went to pep boys and they say they cant find anything unless the lights stay on.
THANKS....Tony...rigged2@yahoo.com

If the Service Engine Soon light came on, then there is a code stored in the system that can be read. Check Engine is same thing.

That's why Pep Boys doesn't fix cars, just sells parts. The system has a memory and can be accessed for up to 80 key starts after the light goes off. Unless it is erased or the battery is disconnected.
