Answer In all honesty, I don't know what could be wrong. I do know that the light is on for a reason, and that reason could cause damage to the engine if you don't have it checked out. I don't want to scare you, but they put those warning lights in cars for a reason, to warn you something is wrong. Even though you can't see anything wrong and it's possible that the light is just broken, I would still go have it checked out by a mechanic.
