There is some problem with the engine or one of the sensors, it's under warranty, so take it in and get it fixed.

its not a maintenance thing its a problem with one of the sensors or transmission,take it to the dealer,it should be under warranty,have them scan the system and see,could even be a loose gas cap,good luck

ck engine has nothing related to maint. It just mean that some of your sensors or actuators related problem and is a obd11 program u need a scanner to find out the codes and translation

Go to your local car parts place like AutoZone and ask them to hook up the code scanner to your car. This is a free service and takes just a few minutes to do . Any of the employees there can advise as to what you should do next.Good luck.

"check engine" doesnt come on for maint, the maint req light comes on for oil changes, check your gas cap first, if its not that take it to a autozone, they will read the code for free,and tell you why its coming on

The check engine light has to do with emissions not your engine our maintenance. Start by checking your gas cap and make sure it is on properly. Get a good fuel injector cleaner this may he;p extinguish the light. If your car is due for an oil change or tune up, do it as it will help with your fuel economy. If the light remains on and the car is running okay it is probably a faulty O2 sensor.

Before you worry about anything, check that your gas cap isn't loose. If it is, just tighen it up and the light should go out on its own. Be aware though, that it won't go out immediatly, it will take 2-3 trips for it to reset.
