Hi Gina, my name is Alex and I will be helping you. Here is a helpful link for you:

It's fairly straight forward to find out why your Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) came on. You need to hook a code reader to your car. If you don't have a code reader you can go to your local parts store and they should be able to read it for you. I have included some information on what you need to do if you are retrieving the DTC yourself. Let us know what you find out and we can go from there.
