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.

That doesn't mean one of the fluids is low, that means take a look at the gauges on the dash to see which one isn't reading in the normal range. The alternator may have stopped charging the battery, the engine could be overheating, or the oil pressure could be low.
