Best Answer

One of the engines emission controls MAY be malfunctioning , could be anything from

the gas tank filler cap not installed correctly , poor quality fuel , a sensor etc.

As long as your

engine temperature and oil pressure are O.K. just keep using the vehicle a few times

and see if the problem corrects itself and the light goes out . If the light doesn't go out

you will have to get the vehicle scanned for any trouble code(s) to diagnose and

repair the problem . If the light is flashing on and off every second or so , that means

an ignition misfire has been detected and avoid any fast acceleration - decelleration

to avoid damaging your catalytic converter(s) and have it repaired as soon as

possible
