Go to one of those auto parts stores that offer a free diagnosis such as Autozone.Might be a simple oxygen sensor.Good luck.

If the Engine Light comes on it, it can be many things. YOu can either goto a auto shop where they can hook it up to a computer or you can buy a code reader at an auto store. Check your gas cap & make sure its on tight. Sometimes that may trigger the sensor.

You'll need to take it to a qualified mechanic who can read the code and diagnose the cause from there. There are dozens of possible causes -- starting from something as minor as a loose or bad gas cap. Just reading the code is not enough; it has to be interpreted by someone who knows what they are doing.

If you are talking about the " Check Engine" light ? Usually yellow in color....that's the engine management system or the computer that runs the car. Could be the Oxygen sensor or a maintenance interval that is turned on after that many miles.

I think one of the sensors that the computer monitors is sending a signal that is not within the expected range the computer expects to see, and therefore it is telling you of the possibility of a problem by lighting up a light on the dash that says something on the order of "check engine."What do YOU think it is?
