Best Answer

You can't exactly pinpoint what caused the check engine light to come on without retrieving the trouble codes. Take your vehicle to AutoZone or similar auto parts store that offers free diagnostic scans and have the trouble codes retrieved and explained.

But first... check your gas cap. A loose gas cap can cause the Check Engine light to turn on. Really.
