It could.
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.

Would a fuse cause the check engine light to come on in a dodge neon?
A fuse does not cause the check engine light to come on. Modern cars have a bunch of little sensors. Each one can set off the check engine light. You can hook your car up to a computer and check it out to find out which one it is. You can even hook up a wire and a little bulb and count the number of flashes. You can check it out. The number of flashes can tell you what is wrong. For example, on some chevrolets 015 is a sensor right above the thermostat. If that one goes off, it might be time to change the thermostat.
