Default Check Engine Light

Does anyone know about the check engine light coming on after so many miles? If so what does this mean? My dad said it might be the oxygen sensor going bad??? Let me know what you all think
Thanks!

Do the little switch dance that Kalevra said, takes about 10 seconds and write down the code. Post it here and we can usually pin point it fairly quick.

Most of us have gone through every possible neon problem. (Even some you might have thought impossible)

guys P1684 won't set the light and it only means you lost battery connection within the past 50 starts. got that code yet neondummi?

Sorry guys...what is a CEL? I will try to code thing when I get home from work tomorrow and let you all know what I find out. I've heard several ppl say that once you hit so many miles the light turns on anyways...is this true?

Thanks... I thought about the what CEL meant after I posted that and feel kinda silly. I do need an oil change badly...just had two tune ups in a row because a place put in cheap spark plugs and messed the first tune up royally...just had a new raditor put in, those things are expensive, possibly could be something else though
