That is the check engine light. Looks like a picture of an engine.

Have vehicle scanned to determine the problem
You have a problem with the engine controls, have the codes read at the dealer or an auto parts store and make the necessary repairs and the light will go out, or it can be reset by the tech.
yes it can. if the check engine light shuts off by itself then chances are either the trouble code is a soft code. A hard code will keep the check engine light on until the problem is fixed and the check engine light is reset.
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.
Replacing the battery was not likely the cause of your check engine light. Most auto parts stores have a code reader will read the code for you at no charge and reset the light.
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.
