Best Answer

A malfunction with the engines emission control system has been detected and requires service / repair . If the light stays on , and the problem doesn't correct itself after using the vehicle a few times , have it checked out . ( As long as the light isn't blinking , which indicates a engine cylinder misfire , and no other warning lights are on , and your engine temperature and oil pressure are O.K. etc. )
