What do you mean by serviced? Sometimes the guy will disconnect the Air Temp Sensor to check the air cleaner, but theres no reason for the light to come on, unless something was left disconnected. You may need the code to know where to look for the problem,

A number of things but more then likely it is something the service people did, you can get it scanned at an auto parts store for free. You can also call whomever serviced you vehicle and tell them. The light can mean a sensor,low fluid,gas cap anything really. Hope this helps tim

2000 grand am gt. Check engine light is off but the Service engine soon light is on. There are no error codes. I have already changed the oil and reset the oil light.
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 .

I have a 2001 Oldsmobile Alero. What does it mean when the anti brake light, service engine soon, and traction off light comes on at the same time?
I am assuming its not the service engine soon light it is probably the service vehicle soon light, There are 2 lights service vehicle soon upper left side, and service engine soon upper right side.

When all these come on at the same time it is the wheel bearing sensor. Usually the wheel bearing needs to be replaced which houses the sensor. A sure way to check is to press your sls button by your shifter and see if the light goes out, If it does not, u will need to have a wheel bearing put in.
