The light is on because the engine computer has detected a problem. You best bet is to scan it for trouble codes. Once you know the codes you can begin to fix the problem and get the light to turn off. I’m happy to assist further over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/jeremy_d728a59f986299fa

most vehicles, once started, will run forever as long as there is a battery in the car, but you could possibly have a really bad battery and altenator cant keep up with charging battery and doing everything else.

-Does it have computer chip...?-If so. You must get from dealer or some one that cut key and can program the computer chip. Other than that regular spare key can open door and trunk only "Can't start".mai Lor

That is easy to track down, ok full charged battery, then connect an inductive pickup ammeter that can read milliamps around the positive battery cable make sure all lights and doors are closed and read the drain on the system anything more that .003 amperes is excessive remember that the PCM has a KEEP ALIVE MEMORY and that cannot be shut off so don't worry about that it's so slight that you won't see it.
if you see a drain start unplugging fuses one at a time and lay them out so you know where they came from, keep goin until you get a drop on the reading and that is the circuit that is draining current.
How long does it take do drain a full charged battery? If you have questions call me 253-691-6206

Check the vaccum source coming into the fire wall. Take note that a second Vacum line T's off to the cruise control (if equipped) this system is partial vacum partial electronic. Thats's is a high probability the little (engine source) Vacum line is broken. Thank you for using Fixya!

YOU LOST ALL POWER, COULD BE A LOOSE BATTERY CABLE OR ALTERNATOR SHORTED OUT.CHECK TO SEE IF BATTERY VOLTAGE IS 12.6 VOLTS. IF BATTERY VOLTS REAL LOW, MORE LIKELY ALTERNATOR IS BAD.IF BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR OKAY,COULD HAVE SHORT OUT FUSE LINK

if you get under the car there should be a good sized metal cylender with a very thick wire and a very small witre going to it, probably toward the front side of the engine (closest to the headlights). spray some penetrating oil on the hardware that attaches the wires to the starter and let soak. remove the negative cable from the battery. remove the wires from the starter. remove the bolts holding the starter to the engine (usually only 2 or 3), being very careful not to drop the starter on yourself or the ground as youll probably need to turn it in for a core. installation is reverse of removal.

The chip in your key is scratched or your ignition selinoid is damaged.
