"Service engine soon" light

Maybe in newer cars the "Service Engine Soon" pilot light implies something serious, but in older cars (say, mid-to-late 90s) it just indicates that the stealership's gonna make some $$

Maybe in newer cars the "Service Engine Soon" pilot light implies something serious, but in older cars (say, mid-to-late 90s) it just indicates that the stealership's gonna make some $$ off of you. My mother's 1997 Ford Escort has had it on since the early 2000s, with no consequences at all. I spoke to a friend who's an ace in computer diagnostics issues, and told me that's just a gimmick car manufacturers use to scare customers into going to the stealership to have them reset it, for which they charge $weet $$ for them. Obviously, it's $our $$ for us! My 2004 Touring Coupe's doing great, so far--SO HELP ME GOD!!! Greetings.
