Hello,

Also own a 2000 with same problem. What this is, as near as I can diagnose is a Short in our Daytime Running Lamp module. If you start the engine, turn the regular night headlights on, then engage drive/rev. the Service lamp will not light up, and you can drive around until the next start.

I found this out when they flashed a bunch of times, I saw that my pass. side headlamp needed a new one, replaced it and after 2-3 starts this surfaced.

Remove battery, look for corrosion underneath caused by wiper fluid spills. Blue/Pink wire will be culprit. Either no connect or short. One of your High beam headlamps likely does not work - but it is not the bulb. It is the controller - DRL module.

Interested to see what you find... Good Luck as well...

Hello again,

P.S. 13.8VDC is normal Out for Alternator. Charges battery for next start.
I think you are OK there...
