Default Check engine light suddenly appeared

My wife was sitting in her car yesterday at idle and her check engine light suddenly appeared. It is running fine. Any suggestions as to what this could be? is it possibly a code in the computer? I dont want to take it in if I dont need to.

thanks in advance.

Fill the tank, recently? Check to make sure your gas cap is on tight.

I have the same problem. And I have no engine mods. When I took it to the the dealer they said its most likely a bad sensor. But my dealer didn't know which one?? They said for sures its nothing serious.
