Immediately take your car to a dealership. You run the risk of a major catestrpohic component failure. I wish I offer you a better alternative. Best of luck!

You will only know the system with the malfunction,
when you retrieve any codes
Then diagnose the issue, using the codes and
a trouble chart
Apparently what has most likely happened is you were on a wet or ice road and may have lost traction on the road. You may have never even noticed, but your vehicle did. The vehicle compensated for the road condition & probably revved the engine a little to low, which probably turned on the check engine light. This is a scenario only.
The best way to find out what's wrong is to have the computer scanned for trouble codes. The trouble code will point to the problem. Several auto parts stores will do this for free or rent you a scanner so you can scan it yourself. If the code isn't obvious or you need more help you can come back here and I'll walk you through figuring it out.
It also could be you need to change the rear differential fluid. There
was a TSB for this vehicle. I am not sure if your vehicle falls into it.
You could check with the dealer as well.
Hope this helps; also keep in mind that your feedback is important and I'll appreciate
your time and consideration if you leave some testimonial comment about
this answer.
Thank you for using Fixya, and have a nice day
