You still need to puill the codes and see what caused the SES light to illuminate.
You 'may' be able to head off an upcoming problem or at least get a little heads-up on it.
Could be nothing important but when your car talks to you, you should at least listen.

If the check light comes on, the ecm stores a code. It remembers the code until you reset it by disconnecting the battery cable for 10 seconds.
Soo... are you sure you checked it right? You don't need a scanner, a paperclip will work fine.
