I was told by a mechanic that whenever the engine light is on, it's because of an emission problem. To find out what kind of problem, you need to have it checked by a diagnostic machine at an auto shop.

Something is wrong if the check engine light is on.

It may never cause any problems and it could damage the O2 sensors or the converter depending on what is wrong.
