Disconnect the battery for 15 minutes and see what happens after you hook it back up. Worked for me!

You need to get the computer scanned to know why the MIL came on, there are SOOOOOO many reasons that can trigger it that you are shooting in the dark trying to diagnose what it is without that code. A ton of minor, nothing to worry about conditions that can trigger it to some serious, you need to get it fixed now conditions....

I believe Autozone can scan the code for you for a very cheap price or find someone near you who has an Autotap.
