Service Vehicle Soon Light for 2001 Pontiac Aztek

I was driving down the highway and my service vehice soon light came on-I have had a leak with the anti-freeze but I would add frequently-and I looked down and the gage that states the engine temperature stated cold. When I went out to check my car at work the anti-freeze that was put in this morning was already gone.

    I have an intermittent problem where the temp gauge goes below cold and the service soon light comes on. Also, it seems that the bright headlight indicator light comes on at the same time. Has anyone had this problem?

    I was driving down the highway a couple nights ago and my '01 aztec dinged & the service engine soon light came on and my temperature gage went to below Cold... I noticed last night that one of my turn signals is out but that wouldn't cause my temperature gage to constantly read below cold... would it? please help! thanks!!!

    ok now i had the stupid problem with the gauge and the service vehicle soon light ok, i solve the problem by flushing my radiator and putting a brand new antifreeze because the one i had was looking like **** also put a new sintetic oil change on it i dont think the oil was the problem but anyway i did that too but i do believe it was because of the antifreeze light went out and didnt come back! for all those people that didnt say how they fix this problem its because they went to to dealer and they fu..them really good and at the end they didnt know that they did to it. i know there are other problems with bcm my that is not my case so if you having the service vehicle soon light and your temperature gauge goes below 0 try this that maybe the cause of it! also sorry about my spelling but i speak spanish too im sure you understand what im saying and i hope this method work for you too

    I have a 2001 Pontiac Aztek issue. My service soon light came on (its the car picture with wrench). Thought it was related to the oil as it was due to be changed. The mechanic hooked it up to a computer and the code came back as the temperature sensor. A few weeks prior I noticed that the temperature guage was reading correctly (stuck on cold), even when I drove it around town all day. Two days later I was travelling out of town (got an hour away) and without warning it stalled. It had almost a full tank of gas (3/4), conditions were cold with snowy road conditions. It wouldn't start, but would turn over. A gentleman stopped to help and said that it seems to not be getting any gas. He added a gas line antifreeze to fuel and it started within 5 minutes. I let it run for about another 5 minutes before proceeding on my way and 5 minutes later my engine light came on. I didn't want to take any chances so I turned around and headed back home. I'm not sure what's going on but could this be related to the temperature sensor being bad? Or even a thermostat issue or could this be fuel related like the pump (fuel filter replaced July 2010 with 6 injectors). Could anyone help with this issue? I know that the fan runs after the engine has been turned off for awhile too.

Service engine soon light is on after leaving gass cap off and driving?

You set a evaporative code by leaving the gas cap off..Put the cap back on ,as long as your fuel level is between a 1/4 to 3/4 the vehicle will eventually do another test and the light will go out

How do I turn off the service vehicle soon light. and what does it mean. It turned on after I got an oil change.

If you are refering to the maintenance reset proceedure for the oil service light, it is generally reset by turning the key on and depressing the accelerator pedal to the floor either 3 times slowly within 5 seconds. If the light flashes and then stops then it is reset, if it does not repeat the proceedure. If the Check Engine light is on, it requires a scan tool to reset the light.

How do i reset service light on 2001 pontiac aztek?

Before you re-set it, take the car to AutoZone or other similar store to read the code. That way, you know why the service light came on.
Then AutoZone can re-set it for you (all free)!

== or ==

Disconnect the negative cable from the battery for 10 minutes, or more.
When you re-connect the battery cable, the service light will have benn reset. But it will turn back on eventually.

Hope this helps!

Service vehicle soon

all these lights are probably associated with the abs.. have the abs scanned at an autozone or another shop and probably will determine a front hub assembly (abs sensor ) is bad.

Abs light, trac light, service engine soon light 2001 Pontiac Grand Am

Sounds like you have a bad wheel speed sensor. You need to have it scanned. Since it's been sitting, it might just be a bad connection to one of the speed sensors.
