It means that the computer has stored a diagnostic code and you should connect a code scanner to determine what the code means. If you can't do it yourself, you should take it to a shop. When something goes wrong, typically with a sensor or other electronic device, the computer detects the fault and stores it for diagnostic purposes, but you need to read the code to find out what it means.

A service engine light is not the same as a check engine light. In most instances the service engine light means you are in need of an oil/filter change. Refer to your owners manual to see what is needed at the mileage you are at on your vehicle. If you are talking about the check engine light then take the vehicle to a professional for repair.
