It means that there is a problem concerning the engine or transmission and the ECM has placed the system in limp mode which is designed to allow you to get the vehicle out of harms way only
check water in the radiator, check for overheating, sump and transmission oil levels, drive belts, abs and tract control system
have the fault codes read to determine what cause the limp mode setting.

It means that there is a problem in your throttle actuator control system.The PCM will limit power until the problem is resolved.You should probably take your vehicle to a GM Dealership for further diagnosis.

power saving mode ??? Or do you mean reduced engine power ? Does or is the check engine light coming on as well ? Probably a problem with the electronic throttle control . Your best bet , take it to a qualified repair shop.

How do I get a diagram for the serpinetine belt on a 2005 Chevy express 3500 van

There is a spring loaded tension pully that needs to be depressed. I believe is has a 1/2 inch square socket female end on the front of tension pully that you can use a 18" or 20" breaker-bar to get leverage to reduce the tension. Reduce the tension remove belt and just reverse the process to install new belt.

Why does reduce engine power light comes on chevy

That is a hard problem to pin point without knowing what codes the computer has stored. It can be any number or sensors or engine problems.

You can go to most auto parts stores and they will pull the codes for you for free.
