Assuming the cooling system is full, I would have the computer checked for trouble codes first.
The codes will point you in the right direction to diagnose the problem, but not tell you what to replace.
Depending on how it overheats, problems could include a bad thermostat, faulty cooling fan, or other issues.

Check engine light and cruise lights came on simultaneously.

Sound like the O2's heater circuit may not be working, that will set a code. I am not a big fan of univeral O2's, too many problems with bad connections and the check engine lights coming back on. You may need to use a OEM type sensor to keep the light off.
