    Question Service Engine Soon Light

    The other day I was driving and the "service engine soon" light came on, I checked the "service info" and it showed that the brake fluid light is on but the level of my break fluid is fine? So what should I do?

    The SES light means something is wrong with the engine. You need to go to a dealer/mechanic and get the codes read at a minimum. Then you need to get the problem fixed.

    Correct. The check engine light has nothing to do with maintenance services. A proper scan of the fault codes will lead you in the direction of the failed component.
