There are many different things that could cause a check engine light to come on the most common though on late model vehicles is the gas cap check that first if its tight then i would go to a auto repair shop that is recommended by friends or family

You'll save a lot of aggravation and money if you just fork over $50 for an OBDII scanner. You'll be able to read and clear the codes on any vehicle made since 1997. Impress your friends by diagnosing their cars. You pretty much just plug the thing in, turn the key on and push the read button.
