Ok. Sounds like somebody took their cousin to the prom. If you don't mind taking advice from a chick, my service light came on when one of my high beams went out. It made my running lights flash. If that happens, check your high beams. It will more than likely go off when you replace the one that's out. If its the check engine light, just head to auto zone or somebody that does a free diagnostic before you drop a ton of cash at the dealer when its just a loose gas cap or something simple.

I have spoken with a few cavalier owners and they told me that the service light with the wrench is a secondary light relating to engine sensors headlights and taillights. if you see the engine light (major Malfunction) its a good idea to pull over and find a ride before you do serious damage to the engine.
- as a matter of fact I did look in the owners manual...all it stated was to take it to a dealer for service. I thought perhaps someone with some experience and/or intelligence could elaborate on the possibilities of the service required.

Take the car back to the ser vicer and have them fix what they broke. It sounds like they fitted the wrong parts. The rotors then damaged the wheel speed sensors (that's the rubbing you hear) and caused the ABS system to indicate a failure. If you paid by credit card you may have leverage with the shop.

How do you manually check 2003 Chevy Express van engine light code?
It takes a scanner to read the codes.
You need to find out the code that is bringing in the check engine light. To do this- under the dash on the drivers side to the right is a computer connector. Turning the key on and shorting out the top right connectors will cause the cooling fan to start and the check engine light to flash. It will read a code 12 3 times( count the flashes with a small delay beween each flash followed by a long delay) followed by the fault repeated 3 times. Your question is too vague to have a good response to. Any number of things could bring in an alarm- O2 low, MAF,EGR operating,TPS low or high voltage,etc. I suggest you find the code and ask another question. You might find the answer is in the code.
