The check engine light is indicating the OBD-II (On Board Diagnostics) has detected a problem. There is a certain code number associated with the check engine light activation.
If you have a Advance Auto Parts store near you ..they can plug a code scanner into your OBD-II connector free of charge. The scanner will display a code number indicating exactly what the problem is.
Hopefully it is nothing major and you can do the repair yourself.

Good Luck:
