Re: The check engine light and AT light are on what...
Your check engine light is on because the computer has detected a problem with the vehicle. Take it to Autozone and they can scan it for you. It is free and they will let you know what the code is.

Hook up a professional grade scan tool to the vehicles computers an check for DTC'S diagnostic trouble codes , that will tell a professional mechanic what to check.
CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON YOU NEED TO GO TO ANY AUTO PARTS STORES THEY WILL CODE SCAN VECHICLE FREE AND SEE WHAT CAUSE CHECK ENGINE TO TURN ON.WHEN CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TURN ON YOUR PCM HAS SPOT PROBLEM IN THE ENGINE CONTROL SYSTEM,COULD HAVE FAULTY SENSOR OR CYLINDER MISFIRE.
the check engine light comes on when there is an issue with a sensor/sending unit/system/or something the pcm controls. The check engine light does not come on when there is a mechanical issue such as a bad lower intake gasket.
There are times when a mechanical problem can cause a sensor to read incorrectly and cause the check engine light to come on.
Without seeing a picture I couldn't say for sure, but typically the check engine light is orange and shaped like a motor. There is no way for you to know off hand what the problem is that caused it to light up, I recommend you go to your local Autozone, they can plug into the computer and check the cause of the fault for free.
Dirty throttle plates and idle speed control motor can cause stalling without setting check engine light. If your check engine light is on you will have to get the code out and continue from there. Vacuum leaks will also cause engine to stall but usley set check engine light.
flashing check engine lights mean that there is a critical failer that could cause severe damage. they should not be taken lightly. a missfire can cause the light to flash. the best thing to do is take car to a shop or an auto parts store to get the check engine light read. check engine lights dont always tell you exactly what is rong, but this will give a good direction to start in. a check engine code would be helpfull in diagnoseing the cars problem.
Must have engine computer scanned to get codes and determine cause of check engine light. Low tire light probably needs reset. Open passenger door and remove panel on side of dash. Reset switch should be located in that compartment.
