Service Vehicle Soon light

My Service Vehicle Soon light came on the other day and sure enough I noticed that one of my headlights were blown.

Now, if I go ahead and replace the light bulb myself, do I still have to take my car into the dealership to have the Service Vehicle light reset or will it automatically reset when it senses the new bulb?

I really do not want to take the car in as the service guys don't know thier a** from a hole in the ground and I don't want them charging me for stupid stuff....

I had a similar problem on my '96 GA. Light came on due to a loose gas cap, stayed on even after I fixed that. If the light stays on it can be reset by just disconnecting the battery for a second or two. I also have a 00 GA and for that model I was able to reset with the reset button by the fuse box though you will need to read your owner's manual to find out exactly how to do it.

Unless it is your O 2 sensor...i think that might be what it is...good luck with that.

OK guys, read the original post carefully..he is complaining about a Service VEHICLE Soon Light..not a Service ENGINE Soon Light

A Service Vehicle Soon Light indicates a fault with the SAFETY systems of your vehicle..Usually a burned out headlamp will turn on the light..
Replacing the affected bulb will cause the light to reset.

A Service Engine Soon light indicates a fault in the emissions system or a PCM controled device...a loose gas cap or faulty O2 sensor will illuminate this light.
