hey i have never seen this before, i start my car and the service VEHICLE soon comes on in the message box, not service engine but VEHICLE. what does this mean? i havent drove the car all day and this pops up? any pointers?

 

That's usually a more serious light than the check engine light.

a CEL is typically emissions related, the SVS is different. Get that checked out and scanned.

 

I have seen the service VEHICLE light come on before because of a headlight being out (in a Grand Am).

But as Mike said, it could be more serious too. If it isn't obvious (check all your lights) then you better get it checked out.

 

hmmm that does make since my headlights are acting weird lately the highbeams stay on while my normal lights are dim....it had went away the next time i tried to start it though

 

I have had the SVS light come on randomly for the past two years. Normally it is in the morning and when I leave work. My car runs fine, the M90 Supercharger works but that darn light is a pain. I have the car scanned and something has come up about the BCM. I have not talked myself into spending $500 on a new BCM and the extra cost for the reprogramming. The car has passed smog a year ago.

Also, does the BCM effect the A/C? My husband jumped the clutch and it works wonders but as soon as we plug the white connector back to the compressor, it will not work. I ahve replaced all three blend door actuators. I have been without A/C for three years. I was thinking of installing a toggle switch to bypass the white connector. What are some of your thoughts?

 

I drive an 05 MC SS Supercharged with 105k miles. Transmission has been rebuilt shortly after I bought it. Also under heavy acceleration, my dash and headlight dim down...
