1. RAq-C♥← Says: What does this mean? what are the reasons why it might be coming on?
2. bandit_60 Says: usually it means something is wrong with the emissions. auto zone will run the codes for you for free. a lot of times it,s the 02 sensor.
3. Mike S Says: Take it to your local Autozone or Advanced auto parts and see what the code reads. Get the little printout they give you, and send me an email, I will try my best to tell you what could be wrong. Just remember the printout will tell you what computer perceives as a problem, but the part it list won't necesarily be the part that is broken or faulty.
4. ? Says: It can mean a few things most the time it's not very important just a sensor that has gone, they are usually only 40$ and are very easy to change. If you take your car to a garage the can plug a computer to your car and tell you exactly why it's on and what's wrong.
5. John Says: try unscrewingg your gas cap and tightening till it clicks, by the 4-5th trip the light should go out, if it doesnt you'll need to visit your dealership.
6. Hank Scorpio Says: Trunk monkey is out of bananas and/or your blinker fluid reservoir is filled with mutant ants that are trying to eat your flux capacitor.
7. 144289 Says: amber colored, means something in computer system, most of the time it's with emission
8. Jack Says: it means check the engine.

What part of that did you not understand?
