Could be low oil level, something wrong with the car's computer system, an oil sending unit...the list goes on.....
Depends on which light is on. If it is the Check Engine light then there is a problem that is effecting the emissions system. Have the ECU scanned with an OBD2 scan tool.
What causes a 1997 Pontiac sunfire gt with a 2.4 liter engine to stall when stopped at a light
You need to repair the problem that set the light and then use an OBD2 scan tool to reset the light. If you do not fix the problem the light will just come back on.

Good Chance this is caused by a faulty O2 Sensor. I had the engine light stuck on in my 2002 Montana and replaced rear O2 sensor and it turned it off.
The check engine light (service engine soon) comes on and stays on when a problem is detected by the self diagnosis system of your vehicle. Generally, the problem is in the emissions or something that is affecting the effectiveness of the emissions, but other causes can trigger the light to come on, too. To determine the cause, the vehicle will need to be taken to a parts store or a shop that has an OBD2 scanner, or for 1995 and earlier models, an OBD1 scanner, While a scanner will not give you the magic answer, it will give you a code that narrows down the problem area.
If a check engine light is flashing that means an engine cylinder misfire has been detected
I have a 2006 Pontiac Solstice. I disconnected the battery terminal for about 45 minutes. When I reconnected it the light stayed off. Good luck
It is possible for the check engine light to come on in a Pontiac Transport when using ethanol gasoline because it burns hotter than other gasoline. The check engine light might also come on if the oxygen sensor is bad.
