My son has a 2002 Montero. We took it to the local Advance Auto Parts store and they connected an electronic device to it (under the dashboard) to get a reading of error code(s) which indicate the cause of the Service Engine Soon light remaining on. The store does this for free. So, if you have an Advance Auto Parts store in your area, ask them about this service.

One possible cause is a bad oxygen sensor. This is one of the causes that can be identified by Advance Auto Parts with their electronic diagnostic tool.
