15000k engine check light

Hi everyone! New to the site and a new rx8 owner. I have a question for anyone who could answer this. My engine check light came on today and I have 15000k miles on the car. Just want some I deal before I bring it to the dealer. Thanks.

Is it blinking or is it a solid check light? Did your car go into limp mode where it felt like the engine had no power? Is the car still running ok? If it stays on then take it to the dealer...could be something as small as a lose gas cap =P better safe than sorry though

It should be either 15K or 15000 miles. Not 15000k. That would be equivalent to 15,000,000 miles. I would not be surprised the check engine light would come on at 15 million miles.
