Have not had any problem until today when my engine light came on and I turned the engine off and then back on and it want go off. My husband changed out the coolant and it is still on. Is there anything else we can do to keep from having to go to the dealership with times being hard.

Check engine light:

Have the computer scanned for code/s-you have a problem within the engine management system that caused the CEL to turn on-This is your starting point of diagnosis, finding out what's going on.
