How to Fix the Service Engine Soon Light in a 1999 Taurus

You can fix the Service Engine Soon light on your 1999 Taurus yourself at home using an OBD scan tool. OBD stands for On-Board Diagnostics system. This is the computer that stores the trouble codes sent to it by sensors positioned throughout the vehicle. Its job is to indicate what is going on in your vehicle and when it needs routine servicing. When you see the Service Engine Soon light flash on your instrument panel, you should have your Taurus serviced before you attempt to reset the system and turn off the light.

Instructions

1

Find the open port that is next to the fuse panel on the drivers side of the dashboard.

2

Plug the OBD scan tool into the open port.

3

Put the key into the ignition and turn the car on. Do not start the engine.

4

Look for the "erase" button on the scan tool and press it. Look on the instrument panel for the Service Engine Soon light to go out. Once it does, remove the scan tool from the port and turn off the car.
