service engine light

WHY IS THERE TWO SES LIGHTS one on the left and one on the right i just noticed it tonite . is one more sever then the other becuase the one on the right is on but the on the left is not

Your Service Engine Soon light will come on if powertrain (engine/transmission) trouble codes are triggered. Your Service Vehicle Soon light will come on if non-powertrain trouble codes are triggered. You will probably never see the latter illuminate unless you have a serious problem with your car that is not powertrain related or maybe if your car was in a minor accident that still left it drivable but impeded on its drivability. I don't know many details of the Service Vehicle Soon light and I can't think of any exact examples of why it would come on.

I was wondering the same thing. But how can you tell them apart? Is the powertrail SES light a different color?

Hello.....one says "Service Engine Soon", the other "Service Vehicle Soon".
