If the check engine light is on, then there is a code stored in it. To retrieve, get an OBD-II compliant scanner and read the codes. Clear it after that and see if it comes back. If it does, then read the codes again to see if they are the same.
One can go to autozone or advance auto parts and have the engine codes read for free. Otherwise, you can purchase your own scanner for under $100 from Sears or Walmart or Amazon.com, as examples.
Good luck on this repair babygirl3182.
