Go to Autozone, or Chucks. They should be able to get the codes for you, and let you know why the CEL came on.

There are plenty of threads on checking CEL codes. Paperclip TE to E1 and count how many times the CEL flashes. Go ahead and do the search for more details and what the codes translate to.
