Several reasons. A 2002 could throw a code from some sensor and that would pop the light on. Best to have someone read the codes to find out what's going on. If nothing is there have them wipe the codes and see is that kills the service light. If something does happen to be there, fix/repair/replace the problem and then wipe the codes and see if that kills the light.

what it is basically doing is telling you that you need an oil change or service to the engine is due,,they will also come on if a sensor goes bad,,if you have noticed any difference in the running of the engine,,it might be a good idea to have it checked out,,it may just be little thing,,but this light was designed to help the driver take better care of there vehicles by warning them of troubles before they get to bad,,so it,s doing it,s job,,i mechanic for a living,,i hope this help,s.

Any number of reasons. Gas Cap could not be on tight, turn it a few more clicks and see if that helps. Oil cap could not be on tight, same thing, turn it a few clicks. O2 Sensor could be going out, the computer could sense something wrong with the fuel or emissions system. Take it to the dealer and they'll plug the computer into it and tell you what it is.

The computer onbard saw a sensor that went out of its parameters for good, or momentarily. Have to pull a code or codes with a scan tool to dianose the problem.

Since it's an 02 the code is probably for the EVAP system or for air/fuel metering. But to be sure take it to a shop with a scanner so they can diagnose it.

It most probably means that you need an engine oil change by the dealer. It's just one of their ways of making money.
