I believe you have to disable the security system, check the owners manual.

Could be a bad (BCM) the BCM sends the odometer reading to the dash cluster. Since it says 'error', the dash is not receiving the correct data. The service vehicle light is on because of this problem. You will need to have the BCM scanned for codes.
