Well, it could be many things, but usually it means that something is amiss in your emissions control system.

Often, a loose fuel cap can cause the check engine light to come on. Try tightening it, but wait a day or two to see if it helps or not.

If not, you can go to your local auto parts store and have them read the codes that the computer is throwing. Most of them will do this for free.
