That’s usually the cheapest warning light that comes on, normally emissions control related like a vacuum hose or filter/valve thing.

You can usually clear that light and have it not come on for another 1,000 miles if the issue is very minor.

That’s why I love my $14 OBD Bluetooth reader, it can pull the codes and give me an idea to what it is, and clear it if it’s not urgent. Also turns my phone into a turbo boost / vacuum gauge and shows me my actual coolant temps among a lot of other cool things.
