It means there is a fault with the engine. take it to your nearest garage who has the ability to read fault codes, and they should be able to tell you whats wrong with it and turn the light off.

Probably better off with a local independent who has the equiptment, as a dealer will charge a fair ammount for the job.

Technically, it means there's a problem with the emissions. The car monitors the exhaust gases in order to keep them within specified parameters.

The fault light could either be a symptom of an engine fault, a sensor fault in the exhaust system or a damaged catalytic converter.

As mentioned above, you need to get the fault codes read to be able to pin the problem down.
