By far the most common problem with a check engine light would be an egr flow problem. The DPFE sensor is at fault 99.9% of the time and there is a warranty extension on this part that covers for 5 years or 74,000 miles. Code will probably be either a p0401 or p0402. Warranty coverage is provided by SSP 59.

I dispute the previous answer. In a great many years of driving I have encountered the check engine light numerous times, never once with the indicated diagnosis. The check engine light could and does signify a huge variety of problems, some of which are quite minor (and may be fixed by a mechanic at no charge!)--but others of which may be quite serious. Take a look at https://motorist.org/articles/check-engine-light.
