In the engine bay I noticed two wires broken from the switch. Would anyone know what that switch is? Appreciate the help.

Hi,

This is the EVAP control solenoid switch and the broken wires are common as they are not secured and vibrations results in them breaking. This would trigger the "check engine light".
Rejoining the wires should solve the problem. Alternatively you can get a pigtail from the junk yard to splice the wire. Use wire tapes to wrap the wires securely after installation to avoid vibrations to break the wires.
