Maybe in the OG900 it was preprogrammed, but in the NG900 it only comes on when there is a problem. The SID will periodically chime in with a "Time for Service" message that you can ignore, but the check engine light should be looked at (especially if it's staying on). The cost to just check the code returned by the light should be negligible, if anything. They've got a hand held computer that connects to the plug under the dash. From there you can decide what to do. It may just be that the coolant is weak.
