The check engine light is on because the ECM (Engine Control Module) detects a problem with the system. Until the problem is fixed the light will remain on. Your local auto parts store can scan your ECM and retrieve the code(s) to help analyze what the problem is in order to make corrective repairs. If you continue to drive the vehicle with the check engine light on you may cause more damage and increase the cost of repairs.
There are lots of reasons for the check engine light to come on. Some models have the light come on when the odometer hits a certain mileage point for scheduled maintenance. Also, if there is a fault in the firing sequence, injectors, vacuum, or other processes, the light will come on. "Cleaned engine" is a little vague - did you spray it with engine cleaner? If you did, and you rinsed with water, check your electrical connections and dry them out. If you went deeper, and removed the injectors and cleaned them, etc. Check over everything you did. You may have inadvertently clogged an injector or the electrical connection is loose. Find a friend who has a diagnostic computer and hook it up. It may return the fault code you need or it may return no fault code and you can reset the light. You can find the diagnostic handhelds at auto parts stores now and it could be worth it. The garage will charge you to diagnose, fix and reset the light and that could cost more than the device.
