Means your engine computer has detected a problem with its engine management. When the light comes on (problem detected) it will store a retrievable code to direct a technician where to look for the problem. Now the light may come on and then go off (means the problem has gone away, but the code is still stored), or it may come on and stay on (means the problem is persistent and should be fixed.) You should not drive a car with the engine light on: it could lead to serious damage. Many parts stores will access your diagnostic codes for free.
