Check Engine light is on!

My check engine light has lit up! What could possibly the reason?

I've check the oil in the engine and the dip stick indicates that its between the min and max levels. I think this is ok. All other fluids like the brake and power steering fluids are at max level. What else could be the problem?

Thanks!

Happened to me about 2 months ago with my Caravan.

Try this...open your gas cap for 5-10 minutes...then close it back..make sure to close it tightly...that should do it...

hello dembi!

what car do you drive? I experienced this with my new toyota after checking that all is fine. the dealer told me to disconnect the negative pole of the battery for 3 mins to reset the error message. if problems still persist I suggest you have it checked immeditely baka me problema talaga..

my car is a honda civic vti 99 (A/T)...

the check engine usually lights up after 15 minutes of driving.

then, then i turn off the engine and start again the light goes off. but agter another 10 to 15 minutes of driving, the check engine light goes lit again!

the car is running smoothly, except that recently, my idling isn't that stable. i thought its probably because of the air-con. My idling sometimes drops a bit making the car shake, then it goes up again to normal.

could this be the sign?

Thanks!

send it in to your favorite casa, you need an engine diagnostic computer to check it. lots of good guesses in the above posts but all are just that. to pin point it bring it in and have a full diagnosis by having them plug your engine diagnostics terminal to their engine diagnostics computer.
