it wont go away because their is a mechanical problem and or problem with oil change [ not enough oil wrong filter etc ] will need to have vehicle scanned for the fault code to determine the problem most auto stores offer this service for free
Hi:
There are hundreds of things that can cause the service engine light to come on, some so simple as a loose gas cap. The easy thing to do is to stop by your local auto parts store, such as autozone. They will scan your car for free, and tell you what tripped the light. Once you have a better idea what caused it, you can go from there...
This is just a mileage-based reminder light that is turned on by the car's computer. The last time it was serviced and the light was on, the mechanic likely turned it off manually. The car is programmed to alert you when a specific number of miles have elapsed and the car is due for its next servicing (usually an oil change). It is NOT an indicator that there is a problem, so if your servicing is up to date, you can ignore it.
You might be mistaken about the check engine light. I have done all the oil changes on my wife's 2003 XL7 and never once have I had to reset anything. If you mean the SERVICE ENGINE SOON lamp, that means the computer detected a problem with the emission control (or someone didn't put the gas cap back on correctly during the last trip to the gas station). Check the gas cap 1st, just take it off and put it back on, making sure to give it a few "clicks" past the stop. If after a few days the light doesn't go out head over to a suzuki dealership and have your ECS checked out.
