No. Check engine lights do not immobilize cars. But the light may be warning you of a problem that your car has that may be stopping it from running. FYI: Check engine lights come on for all sorts of problems, from a loose gas cap to an engine that has been completely destroyed. Regardless of what you might think that is causing the light, you should safely get your car to a certified auto-mechanic.
