If both lights are on the same vehicle then they mean 2 different things. Check Engine light means there is a problem with the emissions system. Service Vehicle means you need to perform regularly scheduled maintenance. Can mean you just need to change the oil/filter. Consult your owners manual for more information.

1995 suburban service engine light on Does this vehicle have both a check engine and a service engine light Just bought the vehicle and I am trying not to be too worried?

A Service Engine light and a Check Engine light have the same purpose - to alert the driver that a malfunction has been detected by a sensor(s). It would behoove you to take your vehicle to an auto parts store (AutoZone or similar) that does free scans and have the touble code(s) retrieved to find what made the light come on. Some manufacturers call it a Check Engine light and others call it a Service Engine light, but as mentioned above they serve the same pirpose. I don't think your vehicle would have it labeled both ways.
