    Difference between Service Engine Soon and Check Engine Light

    Hi, new E46 owner and new to this forum. Can anyone tell me the difference between the check engine light (light that looks like an engine) and service engine soon light (light that just says "service engine soon")?
    Thanks

    Nothing. It's two different ways of saying the same thing.
