That means that the computer system has recognised a problem with the emissions system on the engine or transmission.

The FIRST thing you need to do is to have the computer system scanned with an engine scanner to find the area the problem may be in. Some parts stores will do this for FREE. Don't start replaceing parts. Have it scanned FIRST.
