It could be any number of things. Mine recently came on and luckily it was just the gas cap. You need a code reader to diagnose the problem. Firestone wanted to charge me 60 bucks but you can buy them on Ebay and have the tool forever. This is the one I have and it works good and is easy to use: http://www.ebay.com/itm/260886060056?item=260886060056&viewitem=&vxp=mtr#ht_524wt_1139
