Service indicator?  Please explain.....   

[tunnie]

think he means the spanner light? If so this is not a service light, it means there is a fault! (usually sensor related)

Need to fill in your profile with car details, helps us to give correct info.

the light is the car with the spanner through it ..  a mate of mine put it on a snapon scanner and it come up with service interval.

Need a cleverer mate or scanner!

Was the code P1700 :question

Shame your mate doesn't know how to use it

As others have said, let us know the engine, and also your location (people here may be able to assist with reading why it is on).  If you are near me, I will happily read the engine codes for you, for free (assuming you can get near me - my car is stuck on the drive)

The Omega-B does not have a service interval warning.

[bampson]

yes the code was P1700.  referencing a service indicator ..

P1700 Service Vehicle Soon Request from Transmission Control Module

http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1220619696

Which means the transmission has said to the ECU "Some stuff happened and I'm none too happy about it, you should probably have the owner go and spend a ton of money at the dealer because I don't really know what it was, but it was bad"

You need to have it plugged into a real GM Tech2 to have the actual code read from the Transmission Control Module.

Pretty much what aaronb says - the TCM detected a fault, and in order to protect the gearbox, asked the engine ecu to go to reduced power.

A decent code reader on the TCM is what is required
