Just get someone to plug in a code reader to tell what is probably malfunctioning. Others have said that Autozone may provide this service for free (and try to sell you the needed parts). I went and bought a code reader that lets me reset the light after fixing the problem. If you reset a light, it will go on again if you did not fix the right thing. Code reader is the trick here. This questin is very broad, and the author simply needs to narrow down the problem by getting the trouble code, and the interpretation of the code.
