I have a 2003 Expedition that has had service engine soon light on since I bought the vehicle (used). Took it to Autozone and codes indicated a MAF sensor. Tried using the aerosal MAF sensor cleaner and it didn't help. I replaced the MAF sensor and after about 5 starts the service engine soon light came back on again. Took it back to Autozone and it set codes P0102, P1132 and P1152. I tried to check EGR valve by pulling vacuum on it with hand pump and I could hear vacuum relieve when pump was disconnected, but haven't removed valve to see if it is stuck open, also don't know if EGR vave was holding vacuum or not. Listened to engine at idle, but could not hear any obvious vacuum leaks. If I remember, previous codes were indicating lean air mixture. Now after replacing the MAF sensor it is indicating rich air mixture. Any ideas?

My Pontiac Grand Am 2003 service engine soon light is flashing on and off while I was driving

It is probably going to be a misfire code, but I can't make any promisses. I would take it by Autozone or O'Reily's. They will scan it for trouble codes free of charge. The flashing light means you need to have it scanned urgently. It could be something pretty major so don't wait. Go now, your car will thank you:)

How do i reset the service engine light soon? It stays on after i have changed the oil and filter and reset the oil life sensor to 100%.

The service engine soon light indicates a problem.
Take the vehicle to AutoZone and have them read the computer code.
They can give you an idea of what the problem is and reset the light for you.
BTW the service is free

What does it mean when your bank 1 n bank 2 are running lean

A lean bank 1 and 2 is indicating there is not enough fuel being injected to support proper combustion.
Leading causes can include but are not limited to......
1) low fuel pressure or plugged fuel filter.
2) vacuum leak causing lean condition.
3) air intake hose or crank case not sealed properly and bypassing the MAF sensor or the MAF sensor element is dirty.
4) wrong fuel or poor quality fuel used.
Hope this helps. If the Service Engine Soon light is illuminated, there will be fault codes associated the light. Get the vehicle scanned for free at your local Auto Zone or Advanced Auto and report back.

Service Engine soon light came on. Scan code

If it has been serviced correctly just take it aback and ask them to reset the warnibg light. If they can't then you should chose another garage to service it.
