"Service Engine Soon" Light

According to the owner's manual, this light will appear if there's a problem with emissions. In my '05 MCS, it lights up for about 5-10 seconds after the car is started, then turns off. Normal?

the check engine light on the tach? mine lights up everytime i turn the car on. but i thought that was normal seeing as it happens in the other cars.

whats up with the "service engine in ..........miles" it comes on the spedo when i turn the car on and its a mile counter that counts down. what does it exactly mean?

Yeah the one that is lit up in my car is on the tach. I guess I'll have to have someone plug in the obd and check for sure. The one that says "service engine in..." is for the oil change. I'm not sure how to reset it though. Anyone care to weigh in on that?
