Hello,

The check engine light illuminating means that your car's computer is registering a fault. To find out what the code means, you will need to connect a diagnostic scan tool to your car's diagnostic port. I purchased a basic model that will read and erase codes (usually all the novice needs to have) at Walmart for about $20.00. Below is a link to an article that will give you more information on how to retrieve the codes, and what to do with them once you have them.

Keep me posted on what you find, and let me know if I can be any more help!
