Is this the SES light? (Service Engine Soon) There are threads on this website about what you need to read the errror codes and what the codes mean, if you are a DIY (Do It Yourself) It maybe some non-critical thing or something ultimately catastrofic. Of course, your dealer can also find out what it is, fix it, and reset the warning light. I'd go that route, if you are still under warrantee.
