Service vehicle light Recently flashed my 2000 camaro with a new tune and now i have my service vehicle light on. I know this is a bcm code. How do i determine what is wrong?

Well the tuner deserves something and I figured a taser wouldn't be too violent or leave permanent effects. I just hope the OP isn't the "tuner" in this situation. That could look odd... 
On scanners, there are many models out there. Generally the more features/systems (BCM, ABS, SES, etc.) one wants to scan, the higher the prices. IMO - Some type of scanner is a requirement for working on cars, these days. Models that would allow one to tweak a tune (write to the BCM vs. just read it) can get pricey.

If the service light is on, there must either be a stored code or your tune really hosed the car.
The TCS system is not controlled by the BCM. At the time Henry Ford designed this car, the TCS system used only the ABS sensors and the functions are integral to that system.

Did you have a stable PCM without a light before the tune went in? Or did the tune come in the PCM? I wonder if there is some odd (abnormal) situation where the PCM would put the light, without throwing a code, if it doesn't like the way its installed?
