Pull the codes and see what's triggering the CEL. Autozone does it for free. Write them down and tell us. I believe that light you're talking about is the alternator light, but I don't have my repair manual readily avaliable, so I'm not positive, just guessing.

Not sure on the CEL, but I think you are talking about the coolant light. Let me find my drawing....



That it?

Pop off the radiator cap and see if you even have anything in there...

Ahhh, the dreaded coolant light, you're low on coolant. For some reason I thought that was the alternator light, but now I remember that that's red, not amber.
