I'm test driving this SUV and the service engine soon light pops on when slowing below 10 MPH and stays on at full stop. When I resume speed it turns itself off. I do not notice anything else wrong with this vehicle.
Is this a serious problem or is it ok to buy?
You'll need to know why the service engine light comes on, they can check this by using a OBD II diagnostic tool to find the trouble code stored in the pcm, ask them to run a check on it, or you can take it to a mechanic before you buy it to have them check over the vehicle for any minor or major problems.

The dealer told me he thought it was a sensor. I drove the car home with me, but have not paid for it yet even though I signed all the papers. Does this sound like a serious problem? We don't have an AutoZone here but will try to find someone with an OBD II diagnostic tool. If I haven't paid for the car yet, can I drop it back off at the dealers and walk away, even though I signed papers and had it over night? I was told the car will not pass an emissions test if this ligh is on. Can they sell a car the won't pass emissions?
