Check Engine Light

i HAVE A 1997 SC 300, A FAR MORE RELIABLE CAR THAN THE 540I THAT WELL IT'S A LONG STORY;DRIVING HOME TONIGHT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THIS IS NOT SOMEITHINS i AM ACCUSTOMED TO IN A LEXUS. I AM QUITE CONCERNED. I DO NOT REALY HAVE THE MONEY RIGHT NOW TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER SHIP. I REMEMBER MY $130 OIL CHANGE FOR MY 99 ES. SO WOULD SOMEONE BE KIND ENOUGH TO ENLIGHTNE ME AS TO WHAT MIGHT CAUSE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO COME ON SO THAT I CAN START TROUBLE SHOOTING IT ASAP.

THANK YOU

Go to Autozone. They have ecu code readers there and should be able to tell you why the check engine light came on. Just a thought...
