engine light on can be alot of things, it is there to tell you that "Something" is wrong. so what you can do is go to your local auto parts store and ask them to plug into your car and see what the codes are, then they can look them up and tell you what possibly can be wrong with your car. please keep in mind that the codes just give you a hint at what could be wrong, the next step would be to test the trouble areas to pinpoint the problem before replacing parts of any kind.

Have you checked the oil since the light came on?

Make sure the engine is off and pop the hood. look on the right or left hand side for the dip stick. Pull it out and wipe it off and then reinsert it and pull it back out. Look to see where the oil level is on the dip stick. Fill accordinly. One notch on the stick is one quart of oil. If you refill the oil and start it up and the lights do not go off then it will be safe to drive it to the shop. Oil is in it. However, If there is loud tap tap tapping noise coming from the motor after the oil if full do not drive it. You have probably lost the oil pump and the engine is not getting oil. if you hear no noises and the oil light is still on you can drive it safely to the shop. Let me know how it turns out, Raz

hi had rhis on a few 307's what you need to try first is remove the o/s/r wheel, brake caliper and brake disc, and hub, remove the wheel speed sensor by undoing the 5mm allen key bolt and clean where the sensor sits then rebuild and give it a run all being well it should clear the fault. if that doesnt work it will probably need the sensor replacing

if this helps please let me know
cheers
