If it is check engine light, shape of engine is what most have, some will say check engine, but either way, this is the most common light on left sife of dashboards. First thing to check is your gas cap, if it was left off after driving, or loose, it will trigger check engine light, and if so, tighten, check seal which tends to dry out, you should be able to see this which is 90% of reasons light comes on.
