You might want to go to your local auto parts store and use the OBD2 tool to find out what code your are getting. Then someone can further help you.

I know why the light is on!

If you can send $500 Western Union to me in Nigeria I will send you back $600 and the parts you need to fix your car.

Gas cap might be loose .... Did you just fill up? Let it click like 5+ times as you close it.
