I have Chevy Venture too. Engine service soon sign will definitely bring some troubles later related to Engine heatup specially in summser season. Right away go for the engine tune up which is not cheaper than later you are gonna pay after your engine will heatup and cease. Change all the filters with oil channge and specially throw out the plugs it already had and change it with new Bostch plugs to have better performance. Overall Chevey Venture is a fabulous van I have ever driven or seen before.
the only engine that comes in the venture vans is the 3400 (3.4L) GM V6

My 2002 Impala was doing the same thing. I took it in and they said it was code C1225. Traced to broken LF ABS Speed Sensor Harness. They replaced the harness and charged $231.88 at a dealership.

Underneath the van, in the area where the exhaust pipe comes from the engine. Number 5 is on driver's side, followed by 3 then
It means one or more of the cars tire's has lost grip with the road and traction control is kicking in.
When the security light comes on in your 2000 Chevy Venture van, it typically indicates an issue with the vehicle's anti-theft system. This could mean that the system is activated, or there may be a problem with the key or ignition, such as a faulty key or a malfunctioning security module. If the light stays on or blinks, it may prevent the vehicle from starting, signaling that you should check the key's transponder or consult a mechanic for further diagnosis.
the traction light comes on telling you there is a low traction condition, not that the system needs service. the anti-lock brake system is the noise you hear. it is a series of hydraulic pumps that is cycling the brake pressure on the locking wheel. that is also what you feel on the pedal. the system is working as it should.
