Before you re-set it, take the car to AutoZone or other similar store to read the code. That way, you know why the service light came on.
Then AutoZone can re-set it for you (all free)!

== or ==

Disconnect the negative cable from the battery for 10 minutes, or more.
When you re-connect the battery cable, the service light will have benn reset. But it will turn back on eventually.

Hope this helps!

    The service light is reset by turning the key on and pressing the gas pedal 3 times. The check engine light needs a scantool.

This has to be done with an OBDII scaner,places like pep boys or auto zone will do it for you or you can borrow the sacner from them(you rent the tool) but they give you all the $ back when you are done with it.

    Not for service light. Check engine light yes. Service light is your oil change reminder and you just need to turn the key on and press the gas pedal 3 times

Maintenance Required Lamp/Indicator: Service and Repair
SERVICE VEHICLE SOON INDICATOR
If this light is on, it indicates a problem in one of the electronically monitored systems (a non-emissions related powertrain malfunction). This light
does NOT come on at certain mileage intervals.
There is probably a Engine Control Module (ECM) or a Body Control Module (BCM) Code set that will aid you in diagnosis.
RESET PROCEDURE
The only way to get the light to go off is to clear the ECM or BCM code(s).
This light can NOT be reset or shut off any other way.
ECM/BCM codes should be read & repaired before clearing them

To clear ECM and BCM codes you need an OBDII capable scan tool. One can bu purchased for around $20 online.

How do I reset the computer on my 2005 Pontiac Aztec

Better to do that with a high end scan tool. You can't do it by disconnecting the battery overnight, but that can cause all sort of new problems. Where you say your speedometer 'sets' at 55mph, do you mean always stays at 55 even stopped, or do you mean if 'sits' at 55 even if you are doing 110?

The most likely cause of all this the VSS (vehicle speed sensor)

My service traction light turns on

Does it stay on? If so, you most likely have a bad wheel speed sensor/wheel bearing in one of the front wheels.
