The service engine light is part of the on-board computer system, the reason the computer turned on the light is because it saw a fault in on of its control circuits or it saw a fault in one of its sensors, it could be as simple as the gas cap is not on tight enouf but you need to have the codes pulled from the on-board computer system you can have this done for free a auto-zone.

Service four wheel drive light on,cant shift into 4wd cold only ,below 45F,drive awahile resatrt the truck it works fine,warm days no problems .

Vehicles: 2002 Chevrolet Trailblazer 4WD 4.2L SFI DOHC 6-cylinder

Your front 4WD Transfer case is low on Gear Oil.
On warm days, the Gear Oil expands slightly, and is less viscous, so the "Service 4WD" light stays off. On colder days/mornings the story changes.

The following paragraph has info applying to the manual differential only:
The 2002 Trailblazer (the first year Chevy made the Trailblazer) has a Front Differential using 1.11 (that's 1 and 1/9th) Quarts Gear Oil, and a Rear Differential with a capacity of 2.29 (thats 2 and 2/7ths) Quarts Gear Oil.
The Gear Oil needed is GM Part No.12345349 or GM Part No.1052931 (they're identical), also known as "GM Synchromesh"(R), which is a type of GLS (Gear Lubricant, Special), also known as "Manual Synchromesh Transmission Fluid 5W30". A synthetic version of which sells for $12.70/qt (USD) at
http://www.amsoil.com/storefront/mtf.aspx

This is not to be confused with 5W30 motor oil (which can be had for $3.00/qt (USD)).

The 2002 Trailblazer 4WD Transfer Case (NV126 Transfer Case) capacity is 0.8 Liters of GM Part No.12378508 (US), also known as "GM Auto Trak II"(R).
Note that one Quart (US) = 0.946 Liter, so 0.8 Liter = 27.06 ounces.

Red Line sells something that they say replaces both GM Synchromesh and GM Auto-Trak II for $12.14/Qt and $44.55/Gal (US) at

13 Manufacturer Recalls apply to the 2002 Chevrolet Trailblazer (model year 2002 was the first year Chevy offered the Trailblazer), and two recalls pertain to the 4WD Transfer Case. Note that one of the recalls applies to only 895 units, so your vehicle is unlikely to be affected by this Transfer Case recall.

Recall Date OCT 17, 2001
Model Affected TRAILBLAZER
Potential Units Affected 78004

2002 Trailblazer Recall ============================
SEP 05, 2001 ' Recall ID# 26006

Recall Reason POWER TRAIN:TRANSFER CASE (4-WHEEL DRIVE)
Recall Date SEP 05, 2001
Model Affected TRAILBLAZER
Potential Units Affected 895

Recall Summary
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES (4 WHEEL-DRIVE). SOME OF THESE VEHICLES WERE BUILT WITH A RANGE SHIFT COLLAR IN THE TRANSMISSION TRANSFER CASE THAT CONTAINS CRACKS.

Consequence
THIS CONDITION COULD RESULT IN A COMPLETE FRACTURE OF THE RANGE SHIFT COLLAR AND SUBSEQUENT LOSS OF VEHICLE FORWARD AND REVERSE GEARS, AND THE INABILITY TO MAINTAIN "PARK" POSITION. THIS INCREASES THE RISK OF A VEHICLE CRASH RESULTING FROM UNINTENDED MOVEMENT OF A PARKED VEHICLE.

Remedy
DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE TRANSFER CASES AND UPDATE THE CONTROL MODULE CALIBRATION. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN SEPTEMBER 6, 2001. OWNERS WHO TAKE THEIR VEHICLES TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON AN AGREED UPON SERVICE DATE AND DO NOT RECEIVE THE FREE REMEDY WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME SHOULD CONTACT CHEVROLET AT 1-800-222-1020 OR GMC AT 1-800-462-8782.

2006 chevy trail inline 6. Change engine oil light came on all of sudden. I changed the oil just 2000 miles ago. What does it mean? How do I reset ?

{: ) It could be that it was not reset properly and successfully when you last changed your oil. A scan tool can reset it better. Also, double check for oil level and leaks.

My oil light with a little wrench beside it came on this morning, I have a 2007 chevy trailblazer and I just had a oil change 1 month ago

If the service light is on in your TrailBlazer, open the door, turn the key to ignition position and push the accelerator pedal 5 times, the service light will flash. flash your high beams and you're done.

Warning lights

Feel safe about your trip as this a only warning lights that some issues are at hand concerning your car, it does not mean you can not travel 1000miles.

Just take your car for a scan and it will all be corrected.

Change oil light stays on for a few seconds

you must reset the oil life . WITHOUT STARTING THE ENGINE, put ignition in the ON position with the dash lights on. NOW this MUST be done within 10 seconds. Push the gas pedal all the way down to the floor and release 3X. This should clear the light. Sometimes necessary to repeat if not done in a timely manner.
