It means the same as on any other car on the planet. Nothing wrong with your engine (probably) the light is all about your exhaust emissions system. Amazingly enough, the most common reason for that light coming on is that you did not tighten your gas cap enough clicks when you last filled up. Sometimes when you next fill up and tighten the cap properly it will clear the light because the tank is pressurized again. SOmetimes the light needs to be reset. AutoZone will "read" you computer and confirm what the light means if you still have trouble with it. Unless your car is driven at 20mph everywhere, your catalytic convertor is probably ok Phil
