Problem with my 2001 Chevrolet Malibu
3.1L V6
Service vehicle soon
no codes come up with scanner
Repairs done prior = body work after collision
tech = jk
question = the service vehicle soon light has been on since the
collision...the mechanics cannot find a code... Chevy seems to have rumors
about themselves purposely having computer input this data for the light
to come on...how do i turn the light off? Nothing needs to be done to
the car. Needed to know how to tell the computer to turn the light off.
JK:
The service vehicle soon light is different then the service engine soon.
This is for a body system problem detected. Usually because of an ABS
problem, lighting problem, or a communication problem between several
different modules. Since it was after a collision, it may be that you need to
re-program the BCM to learn the new air bag module part #. If you only had
the powertrain computer (PCM) scanned, that would not reveal a code for
this light. You need to have the BCM and other modules scanned. If the
light is on, there is a code, or a bad module.
