If the car is running fine, ignore the light. The check engine light is a HUGE scam, in my opinion. Some of them come on at a certain mileage. They have it come on at 50,000 or 60,000 or in your case, 100,000 miles. It's just a way to get you to take your car in to the dealer so he can find things wrong with you car and charge you a grand or so.
Don't worry about it, but do take it in for servicing if the car starts to run poorly.
