Hi there. For the check engine light being on, to start, get a code reader and scan the codes to the computer to have a starting place with diagnosing your engine. The computer can store a lot of codes from the engine, transmission, brakes, steering, body, fuel system, emissions, and airbag system. So there is a vast area to check. I recommend seeking out a professional, such as one from Your Mechanic, to help you with your check engine light being on.
