Check engine light came on and stayed on.

I checked the transmission fluid and it's O.K.

I don't know how to check the "O" sensor on my own.

I want to take into a shop but I don't want to be taken advantage on! I don't min paying for the repair as long as it's warranted.

any idea what could be the problem?

thanks for your help in advance

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