Check engine light on. It runs good, starts good. What are causes for this alert all in a sudden?

Good morning,

You need to have the code scanned. You can have this done at a parts store for free. Once I know the code, I can further help you.

There are over 2,000 codes and that is why we need the exact code.

The connector is under the hood left side, back by the firewall. I attached a diagram of the connector.
