Service Engine Soon (SES) light came on this morning, NEED INFO

I was driving to school today and the Service engine soon (SES) light came on. I did all major work at 60k miles. (tune up, new spark plugs, oil change, replaced 2 fan belts). @ 66k miles i changed the oil and oil filter. My car is @ 67k miles right now. What do you guys think the problem can be. Why does this light usually come on and what could be the cause? Does is come on periodically even when there's nothing wrong with the engine, like a reminder? or does there have to be something wrong with the engine?

i read about the dealer taking the SES light bulb out, SUE THEM! & get a 2k4

ANY INPUT WILL BE APPRECIATED!

The warning light is associated with a code. Get the code read at Autozone and find out what it means.

WOW ,i did not know that the dealer will take the SES light bulb out?

Because now my car acting weird.After the last visit to the dealer.They make the SES light go away that was 8 month ago.

now, after I installed cold air intake ,and like every one on the .org say when they installed the new intake the SES will turn on.
mine it did not.

I'm wondring if they took my SES light bulb off.
I will sue them big time ,and not get 2k4 I will get 2k5 maxima
