Get it scanned so you know exactly what codes are stored. So many different codes it is impossible to guess without reading what codes are stored. Autozone will scan it for free if you don't have access to a code reader.

Cool, thanks!! Just out of curousity, what do the codes tell me?? Or could it mean I'm due for a tune-up?? I bought the car used in July, and the only thing I've done is changed the oil a couple times.....

Go to Shoebox's OBD-II code list and look it over.... it will give you an idea of what might be setting off the light.

Then you'll know why its a good idea to get it scanned, rather than guess
