Check engine light comes on when computer detect trouble that may and will effect emission system
most common and an easy to do is gas cap check if its on and tight
also open the hood and check for vacuum leaks
scanning the system will clear things up
and pin point the troubled area
most part store and or local shops will scan it for free
get the code and post it here for more help
