Could be one or several reasons out of many that caused the check engine light to illuminate. Ask your local auto parts store to plug in a code reader and give you the code(s) then post your findings. Most auto parts store will provide this service at no cost.By the way, the year, make, model and engine info would help.

What is wrong with the car if the malfunction indicator lamp comes on and the car starts shaking?

There could be many problems with your car depending on the code. For instance, you have to go to a mechanic or car shop for them to hook this plug up to your car. It will give you a code and that code will tell you exactly what is wrong with your car. The MIL came up on my car before and I had to change the thermostat of my car. Once you have the code, you can just google it and it should tell you the problem as all the codes are generic. Hope this helps.
