OK take the car to an autozone, the guys there will for free hook up a little widget that tells why the light is on. the dealer charges 100 bucks but autozone, Orielly will charge 0
Then you decide if it is something you can fix or the dealer.
two simple resolves....Air filter or gas cap seal take off the gas cap and put it back on....

Ok I have had more people ask this question
There is 2 reasions why it is on
#1 it has developed a new problum
#2 the problum has been fixed and the person did not reset the computer.
#1 after making the repairs assuming the light was reset it has a new problum.
Just because you made repairs if you havent reset the cars computer it still thinks the old parts are in.
And the light will stay on.
First take it to Auto-Zone and have it rescaned and see if it has a new problum( it is free)
If it has a new fault then get it repaired.
If it has no get them to reset the cars computer

most of the time if your service light is still coming on and the car just had a tune up its ussually just a egr valve or some type of oxygen sensor most of the time thier not really anything impotant but if your concerned just take it to the dealer and he will do a computer diagnostic on the car.

when you say service light do you mean the check engine light?
if it is i say ur best bet is to take it to the dealership.
