You need to go in & get the codes to see what's up. You didn't mention miles on the car. The light will come on when you hit the 30K mile service intervals. To get the codes, turn the ignition switch to "ON" but do not start. Then depress the gas pedal 5 times in 5 seconds or less. The computer will then display the codes by flashing the "check engine light" in a series of 4 streams. The codes are 4 digits long. Count the number of flashes to make up a number eg. nine flashes = 9. A 1411 code means there are no codes. Chilton repair manuals have all the codes listed. Or, you can purchase the code reader from Bavarian Autosports. Can you count? Then save a hundred bucks & and try it my way.
