According to an article at angieslist.com, “Check Engine Light Concerns”

“Dealing with a check engine light on your vehicle’s dashboard can be frustrating. While the little light is meant to warn you of a problem – what the problem exactly is can be a mystery. Somewhere inside your vehicle, something happened to trigger the light.

Although you’ll probably have to take your car to the shop to get the exact answer, there are a few things you can do immediately after seeing the light turn on for the first time.

Get it checked out – If the check engine light turns on and you start noticing problems with your vehicle’s performance, take it to an auto service shop right away.
