The service engine did not shut your car down, It was the part that turned the light on, (not the computer monitoring system) You need to determine what turned the light on that's very likely what turned your car off.
Indicative of problem with engine emission system
you need to have it checked for codes
Resetting an engine light on a 1996 Dodge Caravan SE is very easy to do. The battery can be disconnected for up to one minute to make the check engine light go off.
If you fix the reason the light came on in the first place the check engine light will reset itself after a few drive cycles.
WHAT??????
My service engine soon light came on a day two ago, I have driven the car about 20 miles since it came on. Today, the light just went out. The vehicle is running good. What would cause the light to come on, and why would it just go out on its own?
There are pages and pages of things that can cause a check engine light. You need to have it checked with a scantool. Then the code can be diagnosed and repaired.

I had the engine light come on in my patrol due to overheating and I had to take the vehicle to the dealer's service centre where they plugged it into the computer which advised why the light came on and then reset it. There was a minimal service fee for this. I assume it will be the same process for the Mazda.
why the engine light of my subaru came on after i washed the engine
you could take a battery terminal loose for a minute then put it back
There are about a dozen things that turn the light on. TAke it to auto zone and have them read the codes free.
