2000 Chevrolet Cavalier has the Service (wrench) light on ,This means there is a code stored in the ( BCM ) not the engine ECM or PCM ! code this just a for instance ,only one code out of maybe 10 or 15 DTC B2600
The daytime running lamps (DRL) are controlled by the body control module (BCM). The BCM grounds the DRL relay control circuit in order to energize the DRL relay coil. This action places the RH and LH headlamps in series with each other with the DRL relay providing the ground path and the RT HDLP fuse providing battery positive voltage. The BCM monitors the low and high beam circuits to ensure that the DRLs are operating properly. If the BCM senses that the DRLs are not operating properly, DTC B2600 is set.
The BCM turns off the DRL relay control for the remainder of the ignition cycle.


?€¢
The SERVICE indicator illuminates.


B2601
DTC B2602
DTC B2603
these codes same thing , turn on wrench light ,service vehicle soon .. Nothing to do with oil life monitor ! There are a few more codes for the bcm that are for lights and anti-theft system codes , but will not turn on service vehicle soon light ( wrench) they are just stored in the bcm memory !
DTC B2532 DTC B2533 DTC B2558 DTC B2600 DTC B2601 DTC B2602 DTC B2603 DTC B2624 DTC B2625 DTC B2662

There is a wide range of things. The easiest way to know is have it put on a machine that will diagnose the problem. Some parts stores can do that for you for little or no cost.

    Part stores can not pull codes from BCM

SOURCE: 2000 chevy cavalier wont turn over, lights and radio work

The starter motor on a car takes a lot of energy, you may be able to use the radio but not have enough power for the starter. You also might not be able to start it because the motor's starter or it's relay is bad. So here's what to do:

Check the connections on the battery, try loosening the connections and moving them around a bit, then tighten them down good.

Next go try to start it up again. If it still doesn't respond, turn your headlights on and see if they are still bright. If they are, then I would look into the starter or the starter relay.

The relay is in a box somewhere under your hood, possibly with some motor related fuses. Take the cover off and look at the under side of it. The cover should have a sticker displaying which relays do what. Now look for the air conditioner relay. Check to see if the air conditioner and starter relays have the same number printed or stamped on them. ONLY if the numbers mach, put the air conditioner relay in place of the starter relay, and try to start it again.

If you still get nothing, then it is either a bad starter or wire somewhere. On this car it may be a bit difficult to find and reach, but try to get to the starter on the bottom of the car. You can find pictures online of what it looks like if you are not sure. Play with the wires and knock on the starter with something hard like a rock or hammer. It doesn't take too much to do it, even a firm punch can do it, just don't break it. If this works then the starter is bad and needs serviced or replaced.

If there is still no response after this, there is nothing more you can do unless you are capable of taking things apart and checking the wiring. Good luck!

SOURCE: replace a fuel pump on 2000 chevy cavalier

REMOVAL & INSTALLATION
(see Figures 1 and 2)

CAUTION The fuel injection system remains under pressure, even after the engine has been turned OFF. The fuel system pressure must be relieved before disconnecting any fuel lines. Failure to do so may result in fire and/or personal injury.

  1. Relieve the fuel system pressure using the recommended procedure.
  2. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
  3. Drain the fuel tank, then remove the fuel tank from the vehicle.
  4. While holding the modular fuel sender assembly down, remove the snap-ring from the designated slots located on the retainer.

WARNING The modular fuel sender assembly may spring up from its position. When removing the modular fuel sender from the tank, be aware that the reservoir bucket is full of fuel. It must be tipped slightly during removal to avoid damage to the float.
  1. Remove the external fuel strainer.
  2. Detach the Connector Position Assurance (CPA) piece from the electrical connector and detach the fuel pump electrical connector.
  3. Gently release the tabs on the sides of the fuel sender at the cover assembly. Begin by squeezing the sides of the reservoir and releasing the tab opposite the fuel level sensor. Move clockwise to release the second and third tabs in the same manner.
  4. Lift the cover assembly out far enough to detach the fuel pump electrical connection.
  5. Rotate the fuel pump baffle counterclockwise and remove the baffle and pump assembly from the retainer.
  6. Slide the fuel pump outlet out of slot, then remove the fuel pump outlet seal.

To install:
  1. Install the fuel pump outlet seal, then slide the fuel pump outlet in the slots of reservoir cover.
  2. Install the fuel pump and baffle assembly onto the reservoir retainer and rotate clockwise until seated.
  3. Install the lower retainer assembly partially into the reservoir. Line up all 3 sleeve tabs. Press the retainer onto the reservoir making sure all 3 tabs are firmly seated.

Gently pull on the fuel pump reservoir from retainer to assure a secure fastening. If not secure, replace the entire fuel sender.
  1. Attach the fuel pump connector.
  2. Fasten the CPA connector to the fuel sender cover.
  3. Install a new external fuel strainer.
  4. Install the modular fuel sender.
  5. Install the fuel tank in the vehicle.
  6. Connect the negative battery cable.
  7. Pressurize the fuel system and verify no leaks.

SOURCE: orange wrench light on my 01 Cavalier

It means you need to have your car scanned for A DTC code to service your engine soon. Auto Zone can scan your car free of charge for the DTC codes and can give you the instructions to what needs to be addressed that your car has issues with.
It cold be as simple as a bad gas cap or a bad O2 sensor, without the DTC codes we will not know what issues your car has that needs to be addressed.
Thank you for using fixya and be asfe.

The dashboard warning lights on my 2000 Chevy Cavalier show a symbol - it seems like a cut view of a tire with T and C in the tire and a slash. What does it mean??

Sounds like the traction control is off.
Either from it being turned off by the driver or because of a problem with the system.
The symbols should be in the front section of your owners manual.
