I believe that is just an oil change reminder that has to be reset when the oil is changed.

OK, I just looked it up and it's a malfunction indicator for the PCM so there should be stored trouble codes that you can have retrieved for free at Autozone or Advanced auto parts.. Post the code numbers here.

You may need a better scan tool but that is what that light indicates.
