97 Mazda 626 with 59,500 miles. Does the check engine light come on to indicate the 60,000 mile check? Timing belt etc..... thanks tom

If it was, your owner`s manual would say so. Usually check engines light refer to a problem detected by the ecu. In which case, have the ecu scanned to pull out the defect codes. A scheduled service (kilometers interval) would normally light up a `Service engine soon, light, should your vehicule have one.

No, at least on a 96 or later, Check Engine or Service Engine Soon is always a malfunction indicator.

Right, the service engine soon warning refers to a problem. I meant to say my 2002 Odyssey has a light triggered by the odometer distance travelled, but the light name is `Maintenance required' not `Servive engine soon`
