...instead of asking people on the internet, who have no description of symptoms or can even observe your car themselves to see what's wrong, why not take it into the dealer who can let the car tell them what it thinks is wrong with itself??

There are 81 trouble codes that could cause the MIL to illuminate, excluding the three misfire codes that cause it to flash, then illuminate.

Unless there are symptoms with your vehicle that might indicate a fault, the only way you are going to solve this is to do what wakeech says, take it to a dealer (it will be free).

There is no doubt this forum will help you when you provide just a bit more info..It's just a matter of giving us a little more to work with.
