Honda CR-V engine warning light - what does it mean?

The engine warning light has come on 2002 Honda CR-V and and does not go off again. It did this about a month ago, but has stayed off for a few weeks. What should I do?

Well you do not say if it has effected the performance of the engine at all.
It may well be that one of the many sensors that are fitted is at fault.
It may be prudent to have a diagnostic check carried out in the first instance as this should then show up a fault code ( ie P ---- 4 numbers) which can then be related to the problem.
