Are you sure you're not mixing up the description of the Service Engine and
Maintenance Required lights? One is resettable via the dash (MRL) the other
requires a scan tool (SER).

Funny thing is, the "know-it-alls" with the "wise cracks" are usually the
more knowledgeable people who may now not help you with a serious problem in
the future. Polite or not, they are trying to guide you towards your FIRST
line of defense, the owners manual. SECOND line is reviewing the previously
covered topics, then if not found ask.
Now, they may have added you to their kill filters, so next time you're
here, up a creek with a serious problem, they will ignore you.

I have recently become one of the legion advising every driver to read the
owner's manual front to back. I've come across a couple posts (in other
groups) by people who may have damaged their car by doing what they didn't
know was wrong although the manual said it plainly. In Hondas, the timing
belt change interval and not shifting automatics forward/reverse while
rolling are good examples. RTFM or pay dearly.

That still leaves scanning to see if the question has already been asked and
answered. That is obviously available if they found this group to post in.

I appreciate the courtesy of the individuals who did answer this
question for me. It was very kind.
You're right, of course. Spending time scanning a large newsgroup would
yield some results, but then we wouldn't have had this encouraging
exchange, would we? It would have saved us all a lot of time.
I was simply amazed to see this thread still ongoing. I was amazed also
to see that some who want to save themselves from aggravation and time
by flaming those who ask innocent questions, even if the questions had
been asked before, spent even *more* time discussing/arguing these moot
points.
More amazing than anything is the attempt to police the internet. Even
government is having a hard time with that, and, if they succeeded, we'd
all be crying foul. Perhaps it's best to let some things go.

I appreciate the courtesy of the individuals who did answer this
question for me. It was very kind.
You're right, of course. Spending time scanning a large newsgroup would
yield some results, but then we wouldn't have had this encouraging
exchange, would we? It would have saved us all a lot of time.
I was simply amazed to see this thread still ongoing. I was amazed also
to see that some who want to save themselves from aggravation and time
by flaming those who ask innocent questions, even if the questions had
been asked before, spent even *more* time discussing/arguing these moot
points.
More amazing than anything is the attempt to police the internet. Even
government is having a hard time with that, and, if they succeeded, we'd
all be crying foul. Perhaps it's best to let some things go.
