Of all the sites I visited in searching an answer for you, I like this
one best at an AAA site. (See the first item in the FAQ)

As you can read there, the "check engine" computer sensors are
detecting a problem in vehicle. It could be any number of things
wrong. You would need to take your vehicle to a repair center to
determine exactly what the problem is. Else, retrieving the repair
code on your own and identifying it for locating the problem might be
found in your owner's manual. However, for most of us, I do not
recommend trying to fix the problem just based on the error code
because the error code itself can be misleading and quite often it
takes a professional repair person to identify the actual cause of the
error.
