That is a problem in the evaporative emission control system.
Could be anything causing it
Clogged filter in the charcoal canister
A leak in one of the vacuum lines
The purge valve not working,,,etc.
The best thing is to take it and have it checked out, they might have to do a smoke test to find the problem.
All they do is inject smoke into the system, if there is a leak the smoke will come out of it. All it takes is a pin hole in these emission systems to screw it all up.

The Evaporative Emission Control System has a problem.

It didn't red flag any specific part of the system with any other codes?

Try to have the engine light 'cleared' using a scanner, and then see how long it takes to come back.

Yup. The throttle body connectors have a history of failing on these cars. Replace the throttle body and the wire connectors that go to it, and you're back in business. Not terribly difficult and you can get the parts from any dealer. Saturn actually has a bulletin out on this problem but they won't cover it unless you're under warranty - no recall for this.

What does the "service" light on a 2004 Saturn Vue mean? Not the "service engine soon" light. What is the difference?

This is probably related to "oil change". You should be able to hit reset on your instrument cluster, it is designed to probably come on every 3000 miles after you hit the reset...
did you just buy this car?
Change your oil and hit reset

Service engine soon light, service light, reduce power etc.

It is most likely the Throttle Position Sensor has gone bad. But if the check engine light is on, the only way to tell exact problem, is to have a scanner placed on the vehicle to have the codes read.
