Default "Service Engine Soon"

I was accelerating onto the highway in 3rd gear and the Service Engine Soon light poped on. Any ideas whats up? I have 86,000mi, i just bought it and it has been serviced to a T. How do I find out what it is. On Jeeps it usually a sensor going or something. Thanks for the help.

do you have any aftermarket parts at all?? my SES light came on around 2,000 miles, and stayed on until roughly 25,000 miles, because the upper fitting on my CAI wasnt tight enough and i had an excess of unmetered air.

well, call around, and find out who will scan it the cheapest, and let me know what comes up. i work at a dealership and have access to some stuff.

you could try making sure everything behind the MAFS is tight, and buy a cheap aftermarket gas cap. dodge is good for minor evap leaks.
