Hello,

The check engine light comes on when the on-board diagnostic system detects issue(s) with any one or more of the engine management systems. This can also be due to an emission-related issue.
This can be any number of reasons.

Are you having any drivability issues?

When the light gets triggered, the best course of action is to scan and retrieve the error code(s). This can help determine what might be the issue.

Here is a helpful guide:

Please let me know what code(s) that you find.
Thank you.
