You drove through a puddle of water and your engine light came on and hasn't gone off?

It may well be that some of the water that was thrown up has gone onto a sensor, causing it to think that something is wrong and therefore triggering the check engine light. If that's the case it should dry off if you leave the car running for a while or drive it around (assuming it's driving without any problems.) Once the sensor dries and it's happy there isn't a fault, the light should go off. If it doesn't, or the car shows any other symptoms you're concerned with, take it to an expert.
