That something is the evaporative system....most probably the purge solenoid valve, either stuck closed or partly open, broken, disconnected hose. This is not a no-go condition so save your money for a while. CLeaning the valve might do the trick. And often the light comes on but if the condition does not repeat for a while, it will fade off.
