Does the check engine light come on for "engine maintenance"?
i have 115000 miles on my GS400 and the check engine light came on a few days ago, i thought it was a reminder for the 115k miles service (not sure if there is one).
Well now that my radiator was punctured and i have to replace it myself, im wondering if theres more i need to do for the service or if something is realy wrong with the car and hsould just take it in to Lexus.

Check engine light means that it usually emissions related.. iac valve, air flow meter, sparks misfiring...etc... but 95% of the time its a loose gas cap..
maintenance req means that it's time to have your oil change/service

ive never got the maintenence light so i wasnt sure if lexus had the check engine light come on at set mileage services (i.e 115k miles i thought there might be a service), i guess i phrased the question wrong.
It did get checked out once i fixed the radiator though and it was gas cap related.
