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 AutoZone 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.
What else can I help you with?

Battery made check engine light come on?

Will check engine light go off after I drive awhile since it came on after the battery was changed?
Replacing the battery should not have triggered the check engine light. The check engine light comes on when there is a problem with the emission system. Saying that, I would drive it for a while to see if the light does go out. If the light does not go out have the ECU scanned to retrieve the trouble code. Then use this code to diagnose the problem.

Why Battery light came on and then car died?
Most likely the alt. quit. The battery ran out of charge. Charge the battery, start the engine, and check volts on the battery, anything less than 14 volts, like 12.3 or so, check wires, and most likely change the alt.
