it may just be the sensor, also if you didnt go to a gm dealer, they may not have proper equipment to reset the service light after an oil change. when oil change is done, computer is reset for 5000 km to let you know next change. Someone like jiffy lube can`t reset it and so the service comes on. Check that.

The companies have the lights programed to come on after so many miles, you take it to the dealer and if they are honest they charge you $100 to turn off the lights and if not they charge you for a bunch of stuff you did not need.
I had a complete brake job with new rotors and they said I needed a break job, they didn't even look at the brakes or they would not be trying to sell me that.

Yes, get the code(s) by takin it down to the AutoZone(or one of the other parts stores in your area) then, go from there. AutoZone will pull these codes free of charge and then you will have something to work w/. As far as what is throwin the code(s) and where you need to be focusing your attention to correct the problem.
Good luck!

Get the code(s) checked with a scanner. Then diagnose the problem as there are so many codes that I can't tell you which one is acting up. Some of these are very cheap to fix, but others can get a little stupid.
