The problem could be anything from a minor issue like a loose gas cap to something more serious like a failing sensor or a significant engine malfunction.
To find out the specific problem, you'll need to:
* Get the diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs): You can do this yourself using an OBD-II scanner (available relatively cheaply at auto parts stores). The scanner will read the codes stored in the car's computer, which correspond to specific problems.
* Consult a repair manual: Once you have the DTCs, you can look them up in a repair manual specific to your year and model Firebird. This will give you a better understanding of the potential problem.
* Take it to a mechanic: If you're not comfortable diagnosing and repairing the problem yourself, take your Firebird to a qualified mechanic. They have the tools and expertise to accurately diagnose and fix the issue.
Ignoring the SES light can lead to further damage to your engine or other components, potentially resulting in expensive repairs down the line. It's always best to address the warning as soon as reasonably possible.
