Have the computer scanned to learn why it's on, then fixing the problem.

Check engine lights are programmed to come on at certain intervals. Or when something is wrong, are you sure nothing is wrong? on occasion they go away on their own.

How long has it been on? Maybe you have to check your gas cap. If not it needs to go to the shop.

Go to your local parts store like Advance Auto Parts or Auto Zone and have your computer cleared. Newer cars have a memory that must be cleared after it detects a problem. This was done so that temper mental problems may be identified while they aren't acting up. The local parts store should do this for you free of charge if you ask so you do not have to use up all the money to purchase the tool yourself.
Hope I have been useful
