servie engine soon light

This warning light came on for the first time since I've owned the truck (early 99 with 133K). My Haynes manual says Chapter 2, Service Engine Soon light, see chapter 6....
Chapter 6, Service Engine Soon, see chapter 2"

Is the quickest easiest thing to do to bring it to the dealer and have them read the code?

Thanks,
Paul in SoCal

I also have a 99 with 131k on it and my ses light came on as well. It has come on a few times and has been reset. From what I can tell you will need a scan reader. A few here on the board recommend a autoengunity brand. If you are a do it yorselfer and like to stay out of the dealerships a scanner is a must have. Then do a search on this boar for the scanned code number, then Fix or repaur daily.
