Hey everyone. I am having an issue with my 2000 Montero Sport. I got the truck brand new, no mileage what so ever. I am now, 3 years later, getting a "Service Engine Soon" light on my dashboard. Now I cannot believe that there is something wrong with my engine since it is only 3 years old. It currently has 41k on it and I change my oil every 3 - 3.5k. I have heard that if I unplugged the battery the light will go off, so I tried it and it did go off for about 2 hours but it then lit up again. Can someone please help?? Has this happened to anyone?

I also have a 2000 LS with 43,000. My light has been on also. I reset it and it came back on in a week. I took it to the dealer. He said everything checked good. He said it may be some valve that cycles on and off. He was going to change that, but I didn't bring it back. The light stayed out for about a month before it came back on. I just reset it again. Didn't sound like the dealer had any Idea what it was.  |

It amazes me how little knowledge some of the dealerships out there has....  Gives us a bad rep  Oh well... whatever it is that's causing your "service engine soon" light to come on is still occuring at this time- that's why the light continues to re-illuminate even after the trouble code is erased. Fish- do you have any recollection of what the trouble code was...? Joel, CA Diamond Star/ Smog Technician |
