I have a 99SE that's giving me a "Service Engine Soon" light. What are the possible reasons this light may come on? Is this the same as check engine light?

Check Engine Light=Service Engine Soon light=MIL

Go to http://vbxmaxima.8m.com/ecu.html and pull the code. Check the decoder on the bottom of that age, then report the problem here.
