Service engine soon ? Do you mean SERVICE VEHICLE SOON Indicator
The amber SERVICE VEHICLE SOON indicator is an alert to the driver whenever there are specific current codes stored in the BCM or in the event of a loss of Class 2 serial data.
If your vehicle has a check engine light ,it doesn't have service engine soon .One or the other .
You need to have it checked for DTC'S - diagnostic trouble codes to see what the problem is ,then diagnosed , then fixed ! Then the light's will go off ! This means taking it to a qualified repair shop .
SERVICE VEHICLE SOON
The IPC illuminates the SERVICE VEHICLE SOON message in the DIC when the powertrain control module (PCM) detects certain malfunctions that are not related to the emissions system. The IPC receives a class 2 message requesting illumination from the PCM.
This light comes on when one of the systems it monitors has a problem. If you reset it and it comes back on, something needs attention. Usually a burned out bulb will keep the light on. Check all headlights/park lights/and brake lights for proper operation. If no lights are out, the system will have to be scanned for problem areas with a scan tool and then the light reset
The service engine soon light indicates a problem.
Take the vehicle to AutoZone and have them read the computer code.
They can give you an idea of what the problem is and reset the light for you.
BTW the service is free
Hello
Most of time the service vehicle soon light is on is because a bulb of some sort is out headlight, foglight, taillight or brakelight replaced whatever bulb is out and the light should reset itself
Good luck

hi, this is just a reset issue. sometimes the CPU can become confused. the original warning that informed you about your gas cap is still in the cpu's memory. you will have to reset the cpu and, this will clear the warning. After the reset, it will stay off. chevy cpu's tend to do this from time to time.
