Engine warning light
Illuminates when the ignition is switched on. It should extinguish as soon as
the engine starts.
If it illuminates with the engine running, it indicates a malfunction with
the engine management system. Have this checked as soon as possible.
If it flashes when driving, reduce the vehicle speed immediately until the
light illuminates constantly. If it continues to flash, avoid heavy acceleration
and high engine speed, stop the vehicle and have it checked immediately.
On some vehicles this light may be red - again stop the vehicle and seek
assistance.
If it is safe to do so, try stopping the vehicle, switching off the engine,
wait two minutes, then restarting the engine to reset the engine management
system.
With the light illuminated, the vehicle is still safe to drive as
long as no other faults are apparent with the engine. Have the vehicle checked
by a dealer or garage as soon as possible to avoid any damage being caused to

Hi, engine light on mean your car has the obd2 code problem, this tool can read out the code, hope help.
This "check engine light" can mean many different things. Bring your car to a place/garage that has a scanner to check for the codes. This will tell you why your light is coming on. I hope this helps!

Hi, Sounds like the service or check engine light. It could mean a lot of things from oil change to a major problem. You should take it in so an mechanic can put a scan tool on, and that will tell you what is going on.
Cheers,

It is the check engine light, the computer has detected a fault, and has stored it in memory.
The vehicle needs to be connected to an OBDII handset to read the codes. If you live in the US, take it to any Auto Zone store and they will read off the codes for you, once you have the codes, you are on your way to finding the problem. This may be possible at other major auto parts stores but you will have to call your local store to confirm.
Hope this is of some help.
