Service vehicle light?

[MAXX2]

I just put on an SLP lid a couple days ago, but the cars been sitting in the garage for the most part. I took it out last night and the service vehicle light came on. Could this be cause by the lid? I plan on checking for codes and hitting the parts shop anyways. On a side note somehow a buddy talked me into putting 87 octane in for the first time ever, and I'm wondering if that could be why.

Search from page 1 until the end of the thread shown below on this site and you will get many ideas and/or opinions on why the SES light came on.

Did you check the tension setting on the harmonic balancer belt and pulley assembly?

I did not, and that was somthing I was thinking of doing before it started snowing. Thanks for reminding me!

No SES light, it was a service vehicle light, lower dash rather then upper dash.

I haven't been able to get the light to come back on at all, so I have no idea..

We have the book from our 2000 showing this on page 2-91. If you have the book or can borrow one, it shows different reasons.

Excuse me?????? If you don't have anything relative to add, then don't.

Please be more specific, how will the belt tension turn on the Service Vehicle Soon light?

Funny thing is, that reminded me of a squeal that I heard a couple weeks ago, and on my last TA is was the stupid pulley going out. The belts new, so I'm guessing the tensioner's having issues.

87 octane = lawnmower gas...Not performance vehical gas...

Funky vibrations setting off the vehicle body module.

Although normally a large cam is required for that.

I’m on heavy doses of painkillers at the moment…….sometimes I don’t even understand myself. I’ll try to stay in the AAG area where stupidity runs rampant until I’m off of them. Sorry.

Yup! But that still has nothing to do with a BCM code (large cam), unless you have other evidence.

You can mail some of those painkillers to me, PM me if you need the address!

my sercive engine light also came on this morning, everything is the way it's supposed to be, i looked at the manual and it said the gas cap may not be properly screwed on .. not the problem, it also said if i had recently drove through puddles, well it was raining so. i dont know what else could be the problem.. she runs smooth, fluid levels are great.

Get your codes read at Autozone, Pepboys, etc for free and then report your codes in a thread that isn't over a year old
