The indicates some malfunction in your emission control settings. Possibly an o2 sensor, engine running too lean or rich or even only a loose gas cap. Most auto supply stores will read the computer code that caused the light to come on for no charge. I some states they will also turn the light off for you if allowed by law. If the problem is not corrected however the light will come back on.
