The service engine light can come on for a variety of reasons. A mechanic can diagnose the specific issue. It just means that the ECU has detected a problem with the emissions system. It may be a simple as a loose gas cap or it may be more serious.

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.
